[flexcoders] Re: BitmapData from asset embedded in external stylesheet swf

[flexwdw]

Alex, thanks again for you help, it got me there :)  I have found the solution. 
 The problem was that this was indeed a vector graphic I was trying to import, 
so I needed to bring it in as a SpriteAsset.  I can addChild the SpriteAsset to 
component I'm working from...I can then set that component's mouseChildren to 
false and get the same thing I needed to render the bitmap directly for.  Kudos 
to you, sir.
