I’m writing a photo gallery. I’m looking to get an image to be masked by a vector I drew. I am getting the image into a empty movie clip just fine. I’m creating the mask image…It’s correctly positioned in place.

Put when I do the

```auto

movieWithDynamicImage.setMask(myloadedvector);

```

The mask is sitting there completely covering the image…but it’s not masking it…because it’s visible.

Does that make sense? Any help would be awsome.:thumb2:
