dynamically load an image to a bitmapdata

gring · 10-22-2005, 12:04 AM

Hi, is there a way to create a bitmapdata from a dynamically loaded jpg or png? I'm searching the documentation and the web and I can't find anything related to this. It seems we can only import images from the library with the BitmapData.loadBitmap method.

1. load a JPG as usuall to a movieclip
2. as fare it's loaded use the bitmapdata.draw methode

Alright, thanks,

looks like I misunderstood the purpose of the draw method...

I was already thinking about creating an xml file containing the image from the server and rebuilding it with setPixel within flash... This would have been horrible.

draw is misleading. I mistook its purpose originally too. However, Im more upset over "loadBitmap" which does no loading of the sort. Its more of an attachBitmap.
