Hi i have another problem this time its to do with masking an object, here is the code that creates a movieclip then loads an image into to...
bannerArea = newMovieClip(0xffffff, 0, 0, 420, 173); addChildAt(bannerArea,0); banner.loadImage("banners/" + xmlClass.xmlData.BannerRef + ".jpg", 0,0, bannerArea, 420, 173); Then an item is called from the library and applyed as a mask... var maskClip = loadLibrary("maskMC" + xmlClass.xmlData.Mask.toString()); addChild(maskClip); bannerArea.mask = maskClip; This is the function that calls the item from the library (this isnt currently working correctly but we have found a quick fix till we have worked out the masking problem)... private function loadLibrary(item) { var maskClip = new item(); return maskClip; } Quick fix for code... private function loadLibrary(item) { var maskClip = new maskMC1(); return maskClip; } The problem areas is not loading items from teh library but its when it applys the mask i.e. bannerArea.mask = maskClip; Any one have any ideas?
