for(var i=0; i<20; i++){
duplicateMovieClip(ho, "newImg_mc"+i , this.getNextHighestDepth()); 
if(i < 5){
this["newImg_mc"+i]._x = 0;
this["newImg_mc"+i]._y = 110*i;
this["newImg_mc"+i].loadMovie(arr[i]);
    }

if(i >= 5 and i < 10){
this["newImg_mc"+i]._x = 110;
this["newImg_mc"+i]._y = 110*(i-5);
this["newImg_mc"+i].loadMovie(arr[i-5]);
    }

if(i >= 10 and i < 15){
this["newImg_mc"+i]._x = 220;
this["newImg_mc"+i]._y = 110*(i-10);
this["newImg_mc"+i].loadMovie(arr[i-10]);
    }
if(i >= 15 and i < 20){
this["newImg_mc"+i]._x = 330;
this["newImg_mc"+i]._y = 110*(i-15);
this["newImg_mc"+i].loadMovie(arr[i-15]);
    }
}

Answer 1

you need to set the blendMode of the mask and the masked object to BlendMode.LAYER.
