Mask

Question for all you…

I’m not to experienec with masks so if someone can point me into the right direction that would greatly be appreciated…

on my root i have an external swf being loaded into the stage. when you refresh, a random swf will be loaded again, etc., etc., now wut i want to be able to do is have a mask on my root that will mask the external swfs. so 2 questions…

1- making a mask, is it better to use duplicate movieclip or animate everything (ultimately im going to have shapes form the image)
2- how do i go about scripting

im not asking for people to just give me the answer, but point me into the right direction so i can study it…

thanks
