Code is in a timer:

How do I draw the mask? (The picture above is a TIFF file but i
want to accept JPEG also)
The problem is that Picture1 doesn't have a mask. You need to create
one for it. REALbasic (unfortunately even in 2006!!!) doesn't support
reading an image file and including its alpha channel. Your Picture1
will need to be split into two images, one for the image and another
for the mask. Then in code you draw the mask picture into the image's
Mask property and then you can draw the entire thing onto the dock item.
