Hey, your changing your story. First it was embedded PNGs and now it is SWF assets. SWF assets do not have to be Bitmaps. They could be Sprites, MovieClips, etc.
I’m surprised that ObjectUtil.toString only showed one line of output. Or did the forum software cut it off? Maybe try describeType instead, or use the –keep-generated-actionscript MXMLC option and see what it used for that asset in the SWF. I’m trying to see what the base classes are for the embed. -Alex On 5/14/12 12:41 PM, "flexwdw" <flex...@yahoo.com> wrote: Thanks for the help, Alex! So, code: trace( ObjectUtil.toString( StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(".wdwTest").getStyle("icon")) ); var test:Class = StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(".wdwTest").getStyle("icon"); var bitmap:Bitmap = new test(); CSS (cursor_move is a resource I am using elsewhere in the app already): .wdwTest { icon: Embed(source="commonV5.1/skins.swf", symbol="cursor_move"); } output: (myskins2__embed_css_commonV5_1_skins_swf_cursor_move_2116628543) Exception: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert myskins2__embed_css_commonV5_1_skins_swf_cursor_move_2116628543@366be041 to flash.display.Bitmap. thanks! --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , Alex Harui <aharui@...> wrote: > > Run ObjectUtil.toString() on the results of getStyle("testPng").
