Re: [Flashcoders] Using BitmapData.draw() with masked items

[allandt bik-elliott (thefieldcomic.com)]

thanks for your time guys

henrik got it - i stored a reference to the item, it's parent and it's mask
and pulled them into another sprite and grabbed that - worked a treat

private function addItemToBitmapData(item:Sprite, bmd:BitmapData,
mat:Matrix):void
{
var itemParent:DisplayObjectContainer;
var itemMask:DisplayObject;
var holdingContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
itemParent = item.parent;
itemMask = item.mask;
 holdingContainer.addChild(item);
holdingContainer.addChild(itemMask);
bmd.draw(holdingContainer, mat);
 itemParent.addChild(item);
itemParent.addChild(itemMask);
}

thanks again
a
