Thanks for tip, Darron, so now it's not possible to have images compiled in application's SWF or have them in external SWF to be loaded dinamicly? I think such feature would be helpful for game developers that do not need Flex Framework API.

Ah, sorry - that's what I get for not fully reading the question before answering :-) I believe right now the Embed meta data is mainly intended for Flex skinning purposes (hence the SkinSprite when you create a new instance) - I think if you want to get the bitmap data of an image you need to load it in at runtime, something like this: package { import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; import flash.net.*; public class Example extends Sprite { private var bitmap:Bitmap; public function Example() { var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.addEventListener( EventType.COMPLETE, loadComplete ); loader.load( new URLRequest( "example.jpg" ) ); } public function loadComplete( event:Event ):Bitmap { var loader:Loader = Loader( event.target ); bitmap = Bitmap(loader.content); // manipulate bitmapdata here: bitmap.bitmapData.setPixel( 0, 0, 0xFFFFFF ); addChild( bitmap ); } } } I wouldn't be surprised if there was an easier way.. but it might have to wait until Flash authoring has support for AS3. -d _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
