From what I can gather, if you have bitmapData, there's 2 ways to
display it. By embedding it in a Bitmap; or by using beingBitmapFill
on a Shape (or anything that supports it).
Now I presume using a Bitmap is the recommended way, but is there
anything wrong or resource intensive with the other

Hi guys,
First, thanks for your help. The problem is now fixed, without having

Whenever the term best practices comes up in a debate, it usually

it implies one way of doing something is inherently better
If I understood well your need, you might want to have a look to
model-view-controller framework, to Cairngorm or pureMVC.
It will centralize your events and actions (commands) through only one
interface, making things easier to debug and develop.
Hope it helps.

Hi, gang,
I have a long list of MovieClips. For each one, I want to create a bitmap

The problems I'm having:

registration point, and simply performing BitmapData.draw() I don't seem to

What settings did you give the encoder - maybe your bitrate is too high. It
certainly stutters on my machine. Maybe you have too many keyframes.

I've found you have to set up the bitmapdata to have 4 channels
instead of 3 to get transparency.
So for a transparent image...
new BitmapData(width, height, true, 0x);
That should make it truly transparent.
And for the first part, I haven't tried it, but have you looked into

What is the source frame rate? I have seen Flash encounter some
stuttering on drop frame rates. For that size video, you are probably
best to drop the frame rate down to about 15fps. It will probably still
look good for the net and will most likely play a lot better.

this is what I can see in FLV Player:

Hi everyone,
I've got a text editor in html/javascript and would like to have a nice way
to get it formatted for flash.
Actually the code produced by the text editor is not good for flash. tryed
to parsed it in flash but it's way to difficult.
I was thinking of a very simple editor in HTML
As suggested Matrix will get you there. Here is some sample code:
var box1 = new Sprite();
box1.graphics.beginFill(0xff);
box1.graphics.drawRect(-10,-10,10,10);
box1.graphics.endFill();
box1.graphics.beginFill(0x00ff00);
box1.graphics.drawRect(0,0,20,20);
box1.graphics.endFill();
You can probably create your own class that will automatically add every
event and route them accordingly, but it might end up being more work than
it's worth, or less efficient than you'd like.
There's no all-event approach to stopping propagation because only a single
event is stopped. That is,

For patterns on Shapes, look no further that the beginBitmapFill

from the Shape's graphics functions; as follows:

var sh:Shape = new Shape();
