hi ppl  
im trying to make map viewer script.  
i have maps in pieces and want to load them one by one on the area where user is browsing  
(something like [maps.google.com](http://maps.google.com))

what i do is create one mc for each map piece and put all of them in another movie clip and i add a mask on this clip.

i got for each map piece movie clip a loader and what i would like to do is drag the movie clip even if its not finished loading the map image 😕

the problem is that the mask doesnt apply on the movie clip before it loads its map image…

any ideas,thoughts ?
