Pasting image into sprite then masking it

Hi!

I want to load a portion of an image into a sprite, then masking it with another sprite.

I used Pode's ImageTextonSprite to do the first, but I can't do the masking part.

I tried scirra "destination atop" blending but, since back image is always bigger than the masking sprite, undesired effects appear when two sprites are next.

(I want to make a jigsaw puzzle, and I have a set of "jigsaw cuts" for the mask, this is why putting a mask near the other one matters).

I'd say preparing your sprites ahead of time with proper image editing software would be your best bet... but I guess it seems like you're trying to do it dynamically within your app. What kind of undesirable effects are you experiencing? Try make your masking sprite oversized?

You can do it with the canvas plugin. Here's an example:

—: I thinked about using canvas (indeed I installed canvas and ImageTextOnSprite at the same time), but, as that lacked some "sprite" conditions, I gave up from using it.

I passed over the possibility of using a drag and drop behaviour.
