I am dynamically loading an image which I am dynamically trying to mask. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

[AS]  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“clip1\_mc”, 1);  
\_root.clip1\_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(“photo\_mc”, 1);  
\_root.clip1\_mc.\_x = x;  
\_root.clip1\_mc.\_y = y;  
\_root.clip1\_mc.photo\_mc.loadMovie(“pics/pic1.jpg”);  
\_root.clip1\_mc.photo\_mc.\_xscale = 100;  
\_root.clip1\_mc.photo\_mc.\_yscale = 100;  
\_root.clip1\_mc.attachMovie(“mask”, “mask1\_mc”, 2); // mask  
// image\_mc.setMask(mask\_mc);  
\_root.clip1\_mc.photo\_mc.setMask(\_root.clip1\_mc.mask1\_mc);  
\_root.clip1\_mc.mask1\_mc.\_x = -200;
