[RESOLVED] [Help] Load SWF and Scroll / Mask

[Battlespace]

Using Flash 9 AS3.

Attached is a prototype of a project I'm working on... Load the interface.swf and click on the button "load viewer" to load the map.swf file into interface.swf.

Map.swf contains an image to move around with the buttons. The problem is the image (which is larger than map.swf) along the outside of the map.swf is still visible. How can I get the image to only appear within the bounds of map.swf and not outside the edges?

The attached zip also contains fla files for both interface and map.

I experimented with mask could couldn't get anything to work.

Thanks for any help... a screen capture of the issue is below (the white background is the "interface"... that loads the grey viewer)

Just put a separate mask as MovieClip over the window. Then write:

image_mc.mask = myMask;
