Well, if you want to mask an item, you can create a new Sprite (or MovieClip) to serve as the mask. Then, draw the beizer curve onto this.

Finally, choose your image to "cut out of" and apply the mask to it. Place the image you want to shine through under the curve under the masked image. Voila...

Just google "as3 create mask dynamically" or something, and you should get helpful results.


Or perhaps the easiest way is just to have a PNG with the masked area set to an alpha of zero. Any decent image editing program will do this.
