Field of view and walls

I'm fiddling with a field of view for the player. Basically I made a layer, called it darkness. Just added a sprite, a black square covering the whole playfield, and another sprite with the blend effect "destination out" called FOV, works quite well. Only problem is you can see through walls, any way to have the FOV sprite "cut off" when hitting "solids"?

I have seen forum posts about this before and I know people have used various methods.

The two easiest as far as I know are to use the ShadowLight object and give your walls the shadowCaster behavior. A more manual way is to have black sprites cover rooms until you enter the room.

I a made a quick sample showing both methods. The area on the left uses ShadowLight, and the area on the right uses black sprites to block your view.
