Here's the function I use (it uses getDefinitionByName & Class because it
lets me get bitmaps in externally loaded swfs as well):
public static function getBitmapAsset(assetName:String):Bitmap {
try {
var ClassReference:Class = getDefinitionByName(assetName) as Class;
var data:BitmapData = new ClassReference(0, 0);
} catch (error:Error) {
trace("AssetManager:: attempted to instantiate class (Bitmap) that was
not found (asset misnamed or does not exist in loaded libraries ",
assetName, error.toString());
}
var instance:Bitmap = new Bitmap(data);
return instance;
}
