Quick: Can a jpeg be moved out of one MC to another one?

[mneil]

look into setMask. Make a movie clip to be used as the mask and then use

isMaskMc.setMask("maskedMc");

I will monkey around with it in the morning. Thank you for your help

I got it to work.

just the opposite of what you thought but close:

maskedMc.setMask("MaskMc");

Here is my working code as of now:

_global.k = 1;
function nextPic() {
clearInterval(setTime1);
trace(">> k = " + k);
var loadListener:Object = new Object();

loadListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
trace(">> loadListener.onLoadComplete()");
target_mc.setMask(_root.picMask);
_root.picMask.gotoAndPlay(2);
if (_root.picMask._currentframe = _root.picMask._totalframes) {
setTime1 = setInterval(nextPic,5000);
}else if (k > 11) {
clearInterval(setTime);
}
}
loadListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
trace(">> loadListener.onLoadInit()");
}
if (k < 12) {
var container:MovieClip = empty.createEmptyMovieClip("container" + k, k);
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(loadListener);
mcLoader.loadClip("http://www.address/madeup/" + k + ".jpg", "empty.container" + k);
k++
clearInterval(setTime);
}

}
