Hey guys, ive seen this done in front of my eyes by someone else, but for some reason i cant figure it out.

I have an image, and I want to get shapes masking the image as the shapes move along… I know how to mask, but not multiple masking the same image, this is wot i have done so far.

make a movieclip of the mask and place it on the image and
myMovieClip.setMask (maskMovieClip)

The following sample code uses the movie clip circleMask to mask the movie clip theMaskee.

theMaskee.setMask(circleMask);

Hey I figured it out…
All I had to do is put all my animated shapes in one movie clip… Put that movie clip in a layer and set it to mask over the image… really really easy… thats why i couldnt think of it, coz i thought there was quite a bit to it… IM A DODO!!

but thanks alimirza for helping out!!
