that�s what i thought, i asked just to be sure. :^)
the projector itself (not a miaw) may have the non-retangular animated window as well? let�s see if my guess is right again! :^)
Here's the answer for previous releases:
No irregular stage shapes - just MIAWs & it's an unofficial technique - not supported or doc'd
For MIAWs, animating a bitmap mask member does function, but it order for these changes to be seen, the MIAW's windowtype must get set again, and this causes a big flash as the MIAW window needs to be destroyed & recreated.
unfortunately this has been too ugly to use in the past - perhaps DMX2004 may address it?

Well, I'm the fussy sort and thought that I'd like to make a non-rectangular MIAW using a masking bitmap member. But wait, I'm even fussier than that and I want to animate that mask image (using imaging code for example), well, I can now update (a.k.a. animate) the applied mask at run-time to have a window whose shape is not only non-rectangular but that non-rectangular shape animates over time! Shazaam!
