container.mask = mymask;

it'll show shape want, , not square box size of shape?

thanks in advance, driving me batty!

you'd have convert mask shape in photoshop vector shape, import vector flash.

in photoshop:

  • click on mask's thumbnail in layers palette.
  • in channels palette, click mask's channel click "load channel selection" button @ bottom of palette.
  • open paths palette, click "make work path" button. create vector path of mask area. click newly created path in paths palette. see path in document window.
  • select path selection tool (the black arrow), click path. you'll know it's selected when can see edit handles on path. right-click on path , select define custom shape, give shape name.
  • create new layer, select custom shape tool. select shape created shapes menu in toolbar @ top. click menu arrow next shape tools view custom shape options window. click defined size radio button.
  • click inside window place shape. doesn't matter fill color is, since you're doing import shape layer created in flash.
  • save psd file.

in flash:

  • choose file->import->import library find psd file saved.
  • in flash import settings window, click shape layer created in photoshop. under "import shape layer as:" select "editable paths , layer styles". click ok.
  • flash create assets folder in library of layers imported. in assets folder, you'll see symbol name of custom shape created in photoshop. open symbol , you'll see box fill color used in photoshop, there's mask layer. mask layer vector shape of mask. convert own symbol. can use symbol mask.
