Not easily done. You would have to make a 1-bit mask member and use
that to block out the space on a MIAW.
Effectively you would create a 1-bit mask for each frame of the thing
you're animating -- really a kind of rotoscoping -- and animate that
1-bit thing behind whatever your graphics were.
That's step 1. Step 2 is to get it all to load in a MIAW, and then
keep updating the MIAW's rect to match your 1-bit background
member(s) as they move across the MIAW's screen space.
You might even have to do imaging Lingo on this one if you have
multiple items to animate, and particularly if they're moving through
code interaction (randomly) rather than the Score (pre-set locations).
Oh. You can't preview the effect in Director. It has to be seen in a projector.
