I’m using the action script below to load a series of images into my Flash file. I’d like to have a mask above this file that obscures parts of the images. How would I go about masking these loaded movies/images?

createEmptyMovieClip(“pic\_holder”, 0);  
pic\_holder.\_x = 7;  
pic\_holder.\_y = 7;  
pic\_holder.loadMovie(“house1.jpg”);
