Making a mask from a clip which you draw into does seem to work, but
I couldn't make it work if the mask I drew had a hole in it.

What is it that doesnt work for you?

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.
