Hi, I’m also not someone that posts back on a blog, but enjoyed reading this. My problem is that i have a slideshow component in flash on the stage and would like to mask half of it out to create a reflection with the invert of the content that i put into a movie clip. Could you please make a fla downloadable for me to look at as a sample. Please. Thanks in advance. You will be of great help if you can thanks again

This solution saved me a ton of time – thanks so much. It seems like it’s the only way to apply a semi-transparent bitmap as a mask to another bitmap display object – well done.
