Masking Don't Work

[interaktive]

I have a movie clip "mcMask" on one layer, and the masked movie animation in another layer with the instance name "mcMovie"

I placed this code on the action frame layer:

_root.mcMask.startDrag(true);
_root.mcMask.setMask(mcMovie);

What happens is, the masking works but the images in the movie clip are turning into blocked squares. Any ideas? Thanks
