glow filter on a mask

[lsatdown]

I have a mask made up of a movieclip, in which is a shape tweened shape,
I want the edge of the mask (which is a mc) to have a glow filter on it.
But when i apply a glow filter on the the mask mc, nothing shows...

Any ideas??

try to create a main mc let's say main_mc, then the glow_mc and lastly the mask_mc. then inside main_mc place glow_mc and mask_mc. then try

masked_mc.setMask(main_mc.mask_mc);

glow_mc shooldn't disappear. hope this helps.
