Activating a pixel on the stage

[Saab]

What is the best way to simulate a pixel on the stage? So if I wish to make pixel x=50 y=150 black, what would be the best way? Should I make a new class, and make it 1x1 big? I'm using the flashdevelop IDE by the way and I'm using HaXe (Almost the same as AS3).

One option would be to make a Bitmap object image the same size as the stage and directly alter the BitmapData inside of the Bitmap object. If you are referring to altering what is already on the stage you could copy it using the bitmap data draw method. This is quite an in efficient method though.

If you are compiling to Flash 10, may I recommend using Pixel bender for complex per-pixel operations. It works with both as3 and Haxe and is much more efficient.
