duplicateMovieClip fine but not beneeth my mask?

[Lennart1968]

Hi

I am making snow and to make it loop I m trying to duplicate my movieclip.
Which I do like this:
_root.bilde1.snowflake.duplicateMovieClip('snow',' snow2',1,snow);

then on the frame before I :

_root.bilde1.snowflake.RemoveMovieClip('snow2');

and that works! but it comes on top of my mask -anyone knows how to keep it inside the mask????????
I have the mask on the bilde1 mc and then on a layer underneeth
my snowmc.

Then my second problem is that there must be a smarter way of looping it??????????
Because the way I have done it make my snow suddenly disapair( where I remove my mc)


Any easy tip on this -sorry for my bad English
If this was hard to understand please se my attached .fla

Thanks that helped but still i have problem with my masking - of cours i could probably just rezize it exactly to my masking size but it should be possible to get that working within the mask or?????

To mask duplicated clips you need to create the duplicates inside a "container" movie clip (hence you need to put your movie clip that is being duplicated inside this container) now you can mask the clip that contains the duplicated clips.
