That effect will work if the mask and object you are masking are in their on

symbol

state. Make the circle hole a symbol then tween it moving around the screen(you

can also add it to a guide path)(it will still mask). then place what ever you

want seen through it underneath(lower layer(masked) and then drag symbol onto

main timeline

and play, or you could make it a movie clip.(decrease file size).
