I've got it!
well.. in truth my friend has come with very nice solution.
In case someone else is interested how to do that, here's the example:
public class ImageEmbedTest extends MovieClip
{
[Embed(source="wood.gif")]
private var Wood:Class;
public function ImageEmbedTest() {
var sprite:Sprite = Sprite(new Wood());
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new
BitmapData(sprite.width,sprite.height);
bitmapData.draw(sprite,new Matrix());
var bitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bitmapData);
addChild(bitmap);
}
}

No no, Darron, I'd like to extract image's BitmapData to be able to
manipulate it.
So prior to displaying it via addChild() I need to do some
transformations
and image distortion..
Is it possible with new 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.
