I can get the mc into the container, but I was under the impression that the container’s size would mask the movie clip…am I just mistaken in this? Ultimately, I just inserted a mask into the source mc and set the x and y pos to the origin of the display container I was calling it into and got that to work, but if anyone knows something i am missing, I’d appreciate the tip.

Thanks
