Dynamic Masking on loadmovies

programming flash
1

I want to have a same dynamic mask on my each load movie when it is called.
Actually I am trying to have duplicate movieclip which build a grid step by step and act as a dynamic mask and whenever movie loads it plays and reverses itself on new movieload do the same again.
Help is always appreciated:)

Thanks.

This isn’t the best prototype for you needs or the most optimized. Just place the proto in the first frame of your movie, make a mask movieclip around 10px by 10px + export for Actionscript as ‘masker’) and call like so:

//(10,10 is the size of your mask movieclip).
myMovieClip.setGridTrans(10,10);

This proto will add grid masking functionality to any movieclip – also, it is set for radnom postitioning right now – alter away.

Code:
MovieClip.prototype.setGridTrans = function(gridX, gridY) {
if(this.active) return;
this.active = true;
var count = 1;
var numX = Math.ceil(this._width/gridX);
var numY = Math.ceil(this._height/gridY);
maskObj = this.createEmptyMovieClip(“masker”, 1000);
maskObj.base = this;
maskObj.tmpArr = [];
maskObj.alterPlay = function(){
var tmpNum = random(this.tmpArr.length);
tmpClip = this.tmpArr[tmpNum];
tmpClip.play();
if(this.tmpArr.length==0) clearInterval(this.base.loop), this.active = false, removeMovieClip (this);
this.tmpArr.splice(tmpNum,1);
}
for (var n = 0; n<=numY; n++) {
for (var i = 0; i<=numX; i++, count++) {
var clip = maskObj.attachMovie(“box2”, “b”+count, count+100, {_x:igridX, _y:ngridY});
maskObj.tmpArr.push(clip);
}
}
this.loop = setInterval(maskObj,‘alterPlay’,10);
this.setMask(maskObj);
};

I’ve tried alot but still couldn’t figure out how to make it work
my debug Object list shows
Level #0: Frame=1
Movie Clip: Frame=1 Target="_level0.pic"
Shape:
Button: Target="_level0.instance1"
Shape:
my debug Variable list shows
Level #0:
Variable _level0.$version = “WIN 6,0,79,0”
Movie Clip: Target="_level0.pic"
Button: Target="_level0.instance1"
Variable _level0.instance1.tabIndex = [getter/setter] undefined

Now the picMC does appear after a mint or so but without any effect.
_root.pic.setGridTrans(10, 10);
aint working on button or clipevent.
it is a test file all independent.

Please tell me where I am wrong or how to make it work for me.

My debug Variable list shows
Variable _level0.maskObj = [movieclip:<broken>]
Variable _level0.tmpClip = [object #1, class ‘Array’] []
Movie Clip: Target="_level0.pic"
Variable _level0.pic.active = true
Variable _level0.pic.loop = 1
Button: Target="_level0.instance1"
Variable _level0.instance1.tabIndex = [getter/setter] undefined

PLEASE HELP!!!
Or atleast let me know how I can apply my single animated mask on all my loaded movies when they are called?
Or just how to reuse my MCmask each time I need it?
