regular, medium, bold, black", which are all available in Photoshop for

I quickly whipped something up before. It's called the BitmapDataManager.
It's a class that allows a movieclip to stay as a bitmap so that it's
easier to animate complex vector data.

First you have to add the item to the stage. Then, grab a reference to the
timeline object and select the MovieClip by walking the layers / frames /
elements array.

You do it like this in case anyone was wondering:

easy enough.

That doesn't do anything. If a movieclip is empty, there is nothing to

Not hard to add. Just test if System.capabilities.version is 8, and if so,

If you are going to work with strings as you mentioned thats actualy much
slower than simply loop through array and multiply by 3 each element (of
course store extra number which is carried over in the same loop). In your
case it would require at least two passes and in this case only one.

Hi guys,
I have a project that is raising some challenges due to the data having
to be embedded into the swf rather than read externally. I need to show
a dumb example to describe the problem, I would much rather solve it
some other way but I'm bound by some client requirements at this time.
