Hi John, I've just been dabbling in the same sort of thing, but basically just using bitmapfill, it's very simple, check this out: http://www.innerdrivestudios.com/blog/articles/actionscript-3/gfx-actionscript-3-articles/wrapping-bitmapdata-in-actionscript-3
And an application of the principle: http://www.innerdrivestudios.com/blog/articles/actionscript-3/gfx-actionscript-3-articles/flag-effect-in-actionscript-3 Click and the flag and the clouds will start moving using the technique described in the first post.
