Trouble using setMask with loadMovie

programming flash
1

Hey all,

I have something wrong with my code here. I’m guessing with levels or something is out of order. If I do this and omit the loadMovie it works fine. What I get now is the movie loads with the mask set on top of it without masking.

[AS]
function loadIllustration(){
_root.attachMovie(“imageholder”,“image_mc”,this.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:280,_y:47});
image_mc.loadMovie(“snowmelt.swf”, this.getNextHighestDepth());
setMask();
};
loadIllustration();

function setMask() {
_root.attachMovie(“imagemask”,“imagemask_mc”,this.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:280,_y:47});
image_mc.setMask(imagemask_mc);
};
[/AS]
