Here is a sample of what I was talking about:
//------ other code missing (not imp)
var thumbHolder = attachMovie("holderMC", "holderMC" + i, i);
thumbHolder._x = i * spacing;
thumbHolder._y = 0;
var thumbLoader = thumbHolder.attachMovie("thumbMC", "thumbMC",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var thumbMask = thumbHolder.attachMovie("MaskClip", "MaskClip",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
thumbMask._x = thumbLoader._x = 0;
thumbMask._y = thumbLoader._y = 0;
thumbLoader.loaded = function():Void {
thumbLoader.setMask(thumbMask);
}
//---------- other code missing (not imp)
Placed on my stage there is one of the MoviClips from my library
"holderMC".
Inside this MC I have a few more MCs named "thumbMC" and "MaskClip".
"MaskClip" is on a mask layer for "thumbMC" inside "holderMC" (the
layer shows blue).
All three are "Export For Actionscript" in their preferences in the
library.
But I dont use this one that I place on stage, its alpha is set to 0
so that when the dynamic images are loaded
they populate the screen and this one is just a place holder. or you
can leave it off the stage, but make sure you select
"Export in First Frame" on each of the MCs in the library prefs if
you dont include a place holder.
