How to display an movieclip loaded from asset with specified view port ?

Question

Hi all,
I would like to display only a specified viewport or
cliprect of an movie clip(image) loaded from the asset library
using the MovieClip::attachMovie fn. I searched thro the flash
api's & could not find anything which is applicable. Is there
any way
to do this.
Thanks in advance,
McMuthu

Here is some code that will show you how to setup a view
port.
============================================================
map.setMask(mapMask);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
mapMask._x = this._xmouse;
mapMask._y = this._ymouse;
updateAfterEvent();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
mapMask.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag();
mapMask.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag();
=====================================================
You will have to import your own map image convert it to a
MovieClip instance and name it map. The viewport shape should also
be converted to a MovieClip instance and given the name of mapMask
in order to correspond with the variables in this code.
You could change the code to have the view port move from one
position or another.
Hope this helps.
