masking and loadMovie in flash

    I'm working on a project that uses a dynamic mask for a scroll panel. Initially, I create an empty holder movie clip and dynamically create a mask to reveal the contents. Everything works fine until I use loadMovie to load a clip into the contents, then the mask is unset. However, it works if i create a second holder clip inside the first and load the movie from there. I haven't even started any of the scroll functionality so it has nothing to do with that. Is this just a bug in flash or am I doing something redundant?

    all the movieclip's event functions are lost when loadMovie is called.

    The trick you're using is the best solution. Mask the parent not the content holder itself.
