Step 4. Taking the ball to the MASKerade

bad pun. i know but hey this IS a geeky tutorial what else did you expect? Now to turn the symbol into a mask just input the following:

this.setMask(masker_mc)
//this turns the symbol into a mask.

Now the final code should look like this.

Mouse.hide()
//this hides the mouse

masker_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
	this._x = _xmouse
	this._y = _ymouse
};
//this tells the symbol to follow the mouse by tracking its coordinates.

this.setMask(masker_mc)
//this turns the symbol into a mask.
Note:This has only worked on Flash MX 2004 Proffesional let me know if works on your version!
