Mask not working...newbie

Hi. Can anyone give me an idea as to why my mask is not working properly? You
can see it http://www.warrior-baseball.com I started with a background layer 1
that says 'let's Play two!' On layer two I created a mask layer. It is a
rectangular box that increases in length so that each letter appears one by
one. The rectangular box tweens it's size from a small box to a wide box
eventually revealing each letter. (Hope you can understand what I'm talking
about) Then on layer 3, I added the baseball which motion tweens CW rotation.
As you can see by the finished product, the static text in layer 1 does not
show until the mask layer (layer 2) finishes. Can anyone offer suggestions.
I'm sure this is easy but I have no clue! :) Linda

It is hard to tell what?s wrong by looking at the final product but I think
that the layer with the Let?s play two is not connected to the mask layer.
Let?s play? two layer should be directly under the mask layer and both layers
in the description area should show small arrows. If you email me the fla file
of this clip or place it on the net so I can download it, I think I can fix it.
