I have implemented it exactly as you said. Here is the code:
animatedMat:AnimatedBitmapMaterial = new AnimatedBitmapMaterial(new
Shooter1() , {autoplay:true, loop:false});
var material:AnimatedBitmapMaterial = animatedMat;
var shooterPlane:Plane = new Plane({material: material, smooth: true,
rotationX: 90, z: _zPos, width: 150, height: 275, x: _xPos, y:
_yPos});
material.index = 1;
This worked great.
Thanks Fabrice!
