[Flashcoders] FLV Script embedding

Oh, okay. Most obvious, I think, is to paint into the BitmapData of the stain, copying BitmapData from the background image behind it. If your background image is static, that should do what you want it to. Alternatively, you could copy a rect from the background into a clip in _front_ of the

In AS2, you can certainly do some initial checking before it's _parsed_ by overriding the onData function of the XML object. You could do some very simple string-checking on the raw string (to check your attribute) and then decide whether or not to pass it on for parsing. How much speed that'll
