RE: [Flashcoders] duplicate loaded image + convert object to image
Stathis, Create a class that deals with the loading of images. Once that image has been loaded you can create a bitmapdata of that image and then distribute it as many times as you want. I have used this method several times and have built classes to deal with it. If you need some class files then email me offlist and I can send them through. They are built in flex but can easily be converted to flash as3 if need be. This technique also does not load the images twice as it detects if that image has already been loaded or not.

Your choices are: - to load each image again, every time you need it (isn't as slow/bad as it sounds - the cache speeds it up dramatically) - to duplicate the image by storing/copying loaded images's BitmapData - this is your best bet, if you're using Flash Player 8+ Hope that helps, Ian On Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 11:06 AM, Kaloudis Stathis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm trying to figure out how to duplicate a clip with an externally > loaded image in it. > > Function duplicateMovieClip does not work for movieclips > with content loaded using MovieClip.loadMovie() or the MovieClipLoader > and I'm stucked and confused on how to proceed. > > > Also, is it possible to create a multi-dimentional array with loaded > images (inside movieclips) in it > and then retrieve these images? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
