I have attempted to duplicate a movie, creating a continuos scroll. It works fine except for the fact i want it to be masked. Of course the first movie is masked - but the duplicate mavie. although named (strip, strip2) as the first, second movie respectively.
Any idea how I can mask the duped movie as well?

attachMovieClip() instead, that way you make it part of the MC that's already masked.
in theory :D

Well kote,
the problem you have there is with levels. Your original movieclip which you are duplicating is positioned on lower level then its mask, but when you duplicate the movie clip it's automaticaly positioned on a higher level then the mask. That's why you can't mask them the way you're doing it.
Solution: put the original movieclip (the one you are duplicating) inside another movieclip holder. Then mask that movieclip holder. Of course you know that after this you should put the duplicating script inside that movieclip holder. Basically the timeline of the movieclip holder should resamble the timeline you have right now, but with mask covering the movieclip holder while everything happens inside.
Everything should work this way.
Cheers man.

if you can place your masking clip on dynamically, you can control what level it will be on...
_root.attachMovie("myClip", "SunMask", 10);
_root.attachMovie("maskClip", "myMask", 1000);
_root.myClip.setMask(_root.myMas...
