Hi;
I figured out the reason I couldn't successfully mask out the background from 
my programatiically created bitmap image was because I added it to a sprite and 
then tried to mask the sprite; however, by then the background was no longer 
distinguishable from the rest. Someone suggested I mask the bitmap, but 
apparently that cannot be done (please correct if wrong). Apparently the way to 
do this is to convert the bitmap into vector graphics first; however, googling 
only reveals how to do this through the IDE, and even if I wanted to use the 
IDE (I don't) that's impossible because the bitmap is generated and regenerated 
continually by code. So, is it possible to convert the bitmap image into vector 
graphics programatically? How? Tutorials I couldn't find?
TIA,
George
