I am trying to erase one movieclip from another using the blendmode=“erase” setting, but can only get it to work on the stage as the parent. This means it erases a hole through everything!

The attachmovie also doesn’t seem to work as I was expecting and I was hoping that when you drag the movieclip, the attached clip would move with it?

If you check out the FLA ([www.kbaseconnect.co.uk/blendmode2.fla](http://www.kbaseconnect.co.uk/blendmode2.fla)) you can see whats happening right now and what I want to achieve (diagrams provided in FLA).

Can anyone get this working??
