Hello guys, i need your help with this problem…i want to mask a dynamically textField (the textfield it is done in as) here it is my actionscript:

```auto

var txt_format:TextFormat = new TextFormat ();
txt_format.font = "Helv55";
txt_format.size = 14;
//
var head_format:TextFormat = new TextFormat ();
head_format.font = "Helv65";
head_format.size = 24;
head_format.color = 0xFFFFFF;
head_format.bold = false;
//
theHead.html = true;
theHead.embedFonts = true;
theHead.text = "UNSERE KUNDEN";
theHead.setTextFormat (head_format);
//
//
//TextMc.theText.embedFonts = true;
this.createEmptyMovieClip ("TextMc", 2);

TextMc._x = 15;
TextMc._y = 105;
TextMc.cacheAsBitmap
this.createEmptyMovieClip ("box", 3);

box.beginFill (0xF19000, 100);
box.moveTo (0, 0);
box.lineTo (0, 360);
box.lineTo (270, 360);
box.lineTo (270, 0);
box.lineTo (0, 0);
box.endFill ();
box._x = 15;
box._y = 105
box.cacheAsBitmap;

//
TextMc.createTextField ("theText", 1, 0, 0, 270, 360);
TextMc.theText.multiline = true;
TextMc.theText.wordWrap = true;
TextMc.theText.selectable = true;
TextMc.theText.html = true;
TextMc.theText.embedFonts = true;
TextMc.theText.htmlText = "<img src='./poze/patrat.jpg'>Axel Springer AG<br><br><img src='./poze/patrat.jpg'>Bankgesellschaft Berlin<br><br><img src='./poze/patrat.jpg'>Barmenia Versicherungen<br><br><img src='./poze/patrat.jpg'>BCD Travel<br><br><img src='./poze/patrat.jpg'>Duale Systeme Hamburg<br><br><img src='./poze/patrat.jpg'>FamilyMedia<br><br><img src='./poze/patrat.jpg'>Fritschpartners<br><br><img src='./poze/patrat.jpg'>Hermes Schleifmittel<br><br><img src='./poze/patrat.jpg'>LichtBlick<br><br><img src='./poze/patrat.jpg'>Lübecker Finanzkontor<br><br><img src='./poze/patrat.jpg'>MPC Capital<br><br><img src='./poze/patrat.jpg'>Plan Deutschland<br><br><img src='./poze/patrat.jpg'>Stage Holding";
