I’m not sure… but try calling the [[font=courier new]MovieClip.setMask()[/font]](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary566.html) method once the image has been fully loaded. 🙂

You use the [font=courier new]MovieClip.getBytesLoaded()[/font] and [font=courier new]MovieClip.getBytesTotal()[/font] methods. Run a search for more info, I (and many others) have answered this question several times. 😛
