Re: [Flashcoders] How to add bitmaps from my library to the stage AS3?

When you call a Library class (eg:LibImage()), you need to give it 2 parameters which represent the width and height of the BitmapData class. Here however, they dont do anything. So simply call :: new LibImage(0, 0); 2008/6/20 jonathan howe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Here's the function I use (it uses
