BitmapFileMaterial is not to be used like this.
it requires an url.
the material loads, and set the material source when its loaded
automatically
if you want to set a material with source embeded or from your library,
use BitmapMaterial(myBitmapdata);
yes has AS changed a lot... glad the AS1 and 2 times are over!

All the example i found on the net seems to be flex - i gess - because
it's load material via []
i found how to load a material but not how to convert it to
BitmapData - i'm very very newbie in AS3.0 too, was good before
AS2.0
but it was a loooong time ago, and AS changed a lot.
But thanks for the all the info, i gess once i step the material
things, i will help a lot to progress.
