I’m attempting to dynamically load an image into a movie clip and then have that clip tween across the stage. The problem I’m seeing is that the mask on top of the image layer is affecting this in a negative way. I’m seeing at the minimum a “flicker” when the image gets to its final resting place, though depending on how I load the image into the clip, sometimes it disappears altogether.

If this makes sense to anyone, is it possible there’s a bug in Flash MX 2004 where a clip can “lose” track of its instance name after a tween if there’s a mask also tweaning above it? It seems to think it’s a totally different instace once it stops, but if I delete the mask layer everything is fine (outside of not masking where it needs to mask).

If this should be posted to a more appropriate forum, please let me know.

thanks,

how are you making the mask?  
what i do is making dynamic to following scheme:  
\_mc  
\_mc.mask  
\_mc.image

and then do \_mc.image.setMask(\_mc.mask)

i think, it’s not tested…
