Masking "i" depth movies

[tobijas20]

Do you know these "duplicateMovie/random" animations? Like:

i = 0;
onEnterFrame = function () {
i++;
duplicateMovieClip(_root.mymovie, "mymovie_"+i, i);
if (i>1000) {
i = 0;
}
};

How to mask them? Each movie has a higher depth.

Just use this["mymovie_"+i].setMask(MovieClipToMask); ?

Nope, I've already tried such things like "setMask".
Here is an example (fla).

And what do you want to mask with what ?

The width of this animation is set by the number of duplicated movies (1000). I want to make animations like this running just in areas defined with mask.

i don`t really understand what you are trying to do either. Here is a way of masking each clip seperately.
If you want to mask them all together,just stick them in one mc and mask that.

Ha ha, thanx guys. That was so obvious, stick them together in one MC! Never work too late ;)
