Yikes, I never knew that about the garbage collection. Is that in the docs? I bet that is the issue I had with a project I was working on a while back that got scrapped.

Absolutely- check out the documentation for BitmapData.draw(). Just be
very careful- bitmapdata objects aren't automatically Garbage Collected, you have to explicitly call dispose() to keep them from sticking around.

Subject: [flexcomponents] Make a Label a Bitmap

Is there as way in Flex 2 for me to cast a Label as a Bitmap or to make
a Bitmap copy of a Label? I have a Panel that fades in and out.
On that Panel is a Label. Since the font is not embeded the text in the
Label stays where it is and does not fade. I do not want to embed the
font. I need to make is a Bitmap so it can fade in and out. Does anyone
know how to do this or have a piece of code I can take a look at?
