I think you need to draw the loaded bitmap data in a new BitmapData instance. Something like this:
var bitmap:Bitmap = _loader.content; var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData( bitmap.width, bitmap.height, true, 0x00000000 ); var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite(); bitmapData.draw( bitmap.bitmapData ); sprite.addChild( new Bitmap( bitmapData ) ); -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Pace Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 10:42 AM To: Cor; Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] as3 image loading and reusing amongst classes. And listening to events fired by children. I can trace out, and attach the child to the subclass and have it display the unformatted bmp, so not only does my function work when passing the data, I have a starting point to test from. What I am now wondering, is if it acts as a pointer to the original target, or of it duplicates the image... public function newThumbNail(target:Bitmap, pos:uint) { //I am duplicating the data in case it is a pointer and not a newly instantiated object. var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(); bmp.bitmapData = target.bitmapData; //addChild(bmp); I was able to see the data when passed using this. //the params for my new thumb constructor are just temporary... and they can be traced out from the subclass var tmb:thumb = new thumb(this.x, this.x, tmw, tmh); tmb.name = "thumb" + pos; tmb.newImage(bmp); this.thumbsContainer.addChildAt(tmb,pos); } now when I want it to display the BMP in the thumb class... nothing happens...
