Animated object.fill ?

Can Corona do animated spritesheet (the sheen is a sprite animation) fills like this? (See attached). Using the spritesheet character as a mask/container? I could then put another copy of the character underneath if that gets it to show through.

The particles are a separate overlayed animation. 

Starcrunch created some code that could be considered to provide this functionality. See the below threads:
