Alpha Gradient mask_in a container

[Sircharles]

Hi Im using a movie clip to mask out another movieclip(layer).
This works fine with below code:

maskee.cacheAsBitmap = true;
maskMC.cacheAsBitmap = true;
maskee.setMask("maskMC");

but when that swf is imported into a container in my main movie the masking does not work. Any ideas?

thanks

replace

maskee.setMask("maskMC");

with

maskee.setMask(maskMC);
