When embedding the images like this I use a normal Bitmap class not a BitmapAsset. Then you can access the bitmapData property of the bitmap class.
[Embed(source="image.png")] private var imageClass:Class; private var image:Bitmap = new imageClass(); private var bitmapData :BitmapData = image.bitmapData; hth Jim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sascha Balkau Sent: 30 July 2006 14:24 To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: [Flashcoders] AS3 - From BitmapAsset to BitmapData? Hi, Can somebody tell me how I get an embedded image (BitmapAsset) to a useable BitmapData? I'm a bit confused about this. I want to embed an image and then use it as a BitmapData object. I got ... [Embed(source="image.png")] private var imageClass:Class; private var image:BitmapAsset; ... image = BitmapAsset(new imageClass()); ... but how do I get the BitmapAsset to BitmapData to use the bitmap API on it? If I try a simple casting I get a Coercion failed. I would appreciate any help about it! Haven't really delved into this yet!
