It's a poorly described issue.
The setMask action will be disabled if you use loadMovie within the masked MC.
2 solutions:
#1. Create a setInterval that checks if the getBytesLoaded == getBytesTotal in your targetMC. If so, use setMask.
#2 Less complex. Create an empty Movieclip [holder]. Use the setmask on it. Then create an empty movie clip [loadedMC] inside holderMC. You can use loadMovie in LoadedMC without worrying with setMask being disabled because it's its 'parent' being masked not it.
