>>Is it not possible to mask a clip into which you draw things using >>the drawing API?
I'm not totally sure about masking, but in general, I think there are some bugs or conflicts with a movie clip drawn upon with the draw API and other elements of the movie. I'm not sure this is as related as you would like, but for example, I had an issue with one of those drawn-on movie clips which had another movie clip as a child, which had a textfield on it. It worked fine until the textfield was updated with new data - then the old text still showed, and the new text was also drawn over the top - so it looked like there were two overlapping textfields. If I separated the textfield from the clip being drawn on, it worked fine. I never could figure out the behavior, but I assumed it had to do with the clips and children of clips drawn on by the draw API and the way the player renders them/redraws them. In another case, portions of v2 components always displayed below clips which were drawn upon - the drawn on clips were always on top. Post again if you figure it out.
