Hello there 😃  
I’m new to this forum and i’m glad to be here.

I have a little question:  
How can I crop letteraly crop a part of an imported image into a specific irregular shape that already exists on the stage as a MovieClip… a jigsaw puzzle piece for example ? (it would be prefered not to use masks).

Hope somebody can give me a hand :). Ty!
