Hi Dave,
I'm not sure you need to be accessing your bitmap via a movieClip. I'm
doing something similar but I use the bitmap directly from the library. I
se the bitmap up an auto generated class using 'Linkage' i.e. 'myBitmap'
then if I need the bitmapData in yourscript simply say:
var myBitmapData:myBitmap = new myBitmap();
var myBitmapInstance:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData, "auto", true);
this.addChild(myBitmapInstance);
No need for a movieClip. I'm going to guess that when you use the
movieClip you are accessing the bitmap as a child of that movieClip and
trying to extract the bitmapData from that. I tried a similar approach and
it did not work. Seems that bitmaps assigned in authoring mode return a
type of Shape and not Bitmap when you try to access them. I'm guessing
this is a bug in the alpha version.
hth,
Rob

Hello,
So I have a movieClip in the library that is set to Export as a
class with the Auto Create Class feature, with the name
"rotate_sphere". rotate_sphere basically contains a .png that I would
like to copy as bitmapData to a new bitmap Object so that I can take
advantage of the smoothing parameter on 'New
Bitmap(bitmapData,snapping,SMOOTHING)'. Because this object needs to
scale and I would like to keep it looking "smooth" with keeping the
edges anti aliased. I am getting a Type Coercion error which reads:
cannot convert rotate_sphere$ to flash.display.DisplayObject when I am
trying to get the bitmapData.
