Targeting object from behind a mask?

Question

I have run into an interesting problem. I load a swf into a
movie and that loaded swf creates an xml object and loads the xml.
The loaded movie is a map that the user can click and drag, so I
put it behind a mask to frame it. The mask is on the loader movie.
But when I put it behind the mask the xml object breaks. Remove the
mask, and it is fixed. Is this documented somewhere? Does anyone
have any idea why this would work this way?

Answer 1

you're lacking one (or more) of color_mc.color1,...,color_mc.color5.
to find the first use the trace function:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.None;
var t1:Tween;
var t2:Tween;
var colorNum:int = 5;
for(var i:int=1;i<=colorNum;i++){
trace(i);  // the last value of i you see in the output panel is the first movieclip that isn't defined.
color_mc["color1"+i].buttonMode=true;
color_mc["color1"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,tweenA);
color_mc["color2"+i].buttonMode=true;
color_mc["color2"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,tweenB);
color_mc["color3"+i].buttonMode=true;
color_mc["color3"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,tweenC);
color_mc["color4"+i].buttonMode=true;
color_mc["color4"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,tweenD);
color_mc["color5"+i].buttonMode=true;
color_mc["color5"+i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,tweenE);
function tweenA(e:MouseEvent):void{
t1=new Tween(e.currentTarget,"scaleX",None.easeNone,1,1.5,.5,true);
t2=new Tween(e.currentTarget,"scaleY",None.easeNone,1,1.5,.5,true);
function tweenB(e:MouseEvent):void{
t1=new Tween(e.currentTarget,"scaleX",None.easeNone,1,1.5,.5,true);
t2=new Tween(e.currentTarget,"scaleY",None.easeNone,1,1.5,.5,true);
function tweenC(e:MouseEvent):void{
t1=new Tween(e.currentTarget,"scaleX",None.easeNone,1,1.5,.5,true);
t2=new Tween(e.currentTarget,"scaleY",None.easeNone,1,1.5,.5,true);
function tweenD(e:MouseEvent):void{
t1=new Tween(e.currentTarget,"scaleX",None.easeNone,1,1.5,.5,true);
t2=new Tween(e.currentTarget,"scaleY",None.easeNone,1,1.5,.5,true);
function tweenE(e:MouseEvent):void{
t1=new Tween(e.currentTarget,"scaleX",None.easeNone,1,1.5,.5,true);
t2=new Tween(e.currentTarget,"scaleY",None.easeNone,1,1.5,.5,true);
stop();
