You may read this and say wow this guy is new, well I am and any and all help is very much appreciated. I am trying mask an image using a MC. Movie clip has animation in it if that makes a difference.

I have tried the actionscript setMask, and i cannot get it to work, if possible could someone tell me how to use it properly.

Thanks in advance.
