I tried to apply setMask() method on loadMovie() - it not works or make I someth wrong?

loadMovie (“main\_anim.swf”, container\_mc\_main);  
container\_mc\_main.\_x = 477.8;  
container\_mc\_main.\_y = 49.5;  
trace ("container\_mc\_main.getDepth() = " + container\_mc\_main.getDepth ());  
circleMask\_mc.\_x = container\_mc\_main.\_x;  
circleMask\_mc.\_y = container\_mc\_main.\_y;  
trace ("circleMask\_mc.getDepth() = " + circleMask\_mc.getDepth ())  
container\_mc\_main.setMask (circleMask\_mc);
