using a mask with a dynamically moving image "under" the mask

[Mor3bane]

It is hard to post *everything* unless you feel like going through 1732 lines of code. This is just a tiny part of a 1920x1080 window-sized skin. Everything is integrated. SO, I hope whats below is enough.

Incidentally, I have nearly achieved everything, and the below code represents a fairly good working example.

My issue now is I need to right justify the text according to the adjusting graphic Mesh11.png (attached).

It should be clear, when testing the below, that the attached png is being manipulated in such a way that it would appear to be moving to the right, exposing more of the black mesh area - which when only 1 character is put in for the text output represents a nearly round area of mesh.
Fine tuning will be necessary but like I said my main thing now is dynamically adjusting the text to appear to justify with the right edge of the dark mesh graphic.
