Hey Alex,
Two things work:
1) Using the resource embedded in the external stylesheet SWF using a Canvas
and the embedded image as a background-image style. In the case I need, it is
very preferable to me to render the image in a Graphics content using
fillBitmap, thus I'd rather have a bitmap data.
2) Using a resource embedded directly in the SWF that has the Application, like
so:
[Embed("test.png")]
public var testPng:Class;
var bitmap:Bitmap = new testPng();
graphics.beginBitmapFill( bitmap.bitmapData );
graphics.drawRect(0,0,50,50);
graphics.endFill();
If I try to do this same thing with:
var myClass:Class =
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(".test").getStyle("testPng");
var bitmap:Bitmap = new myClass();
I get a runtime error that myClass cannot be instantiated. I thought those two
operations were the same, clearly I'm wrong. Is there a way to do this?
thanks!
