Essentially, I am trying to fill a graphic with a pattern, which is loaded externally via XML.
This is my code (it doesn’t work):
[AS] selectedGraphic = _root[“container” + (selection-1)];
patternToBeMasked = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("pattern" + (selection-1), getNextAvailableLevel());
patternToBeMasked.loadMovie(fileName);
patternToBeMasked.setMask(selectedGraphic);[/AS]
The graphics are loading properly, but the setMask command seems to have no effect. Is there something else I should be doing? Is setMask sensitive to levels or how movieclips are nested within each other?
