I'm trying to load an external swf via LOADMOVIE using this { _root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1); loadMovie("http://www.xyber3dstudios.com/dawebhost.swf", "container"); container._x = 555.95 ; container._y = 21.00 ; } Now its loading the parts outside canvas too in the loaded movie so that it looks quite messy. I was reading about masking, but I'm too much of a noob to understand that. How exactly do you mask the outside of the loaded movie via actionscript>? Hoping for a fast reply, its kind of urgent. Thanks in advance Xavier.
