FLASH: HELP: draggable movieclip in mask layer

[mbain]

I have put a movieclip (containing only a filled circle) on the stage and nade

it draggable and went test movie. All worked fine, the "ball" drag around on the

stage over my text - lovely.


Then i changed the layer the "ball" is on into a mask layer, and now it wont

drag. Turn the masking for the layer off ..it drags ...turn the masking on - it

doesnt drag. Can one not drag a movieclip in a mask layer ?

And if one cannot - then ho will one make a spotlight effect, where the user can

control the spotlight, ie ...drag the spotlight around on the screen.


Thanks
