ActionScript BitmapData Built-in To Bitmaps?
- by TheDarkIn1978
i've used a Loader and URLRequest to download a .png from the internet and add it to my display list. since it's already a bitmap, does it have built in bitmap data already? or do i have to create the bitmap data myself?
also, why does the same trace statement return false in the mouseMoveHandler when it outputs true in the displayImage function?
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://somewebsite.com/image.png"));
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, displayImage);
function displayImage(evt:Event):void
{
addChild(evt.target.content);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);
trace(evt.target.content is Bitmap); //outputs 'true'
}
function mouseMoveHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
trace(evt.target.content is Bitmap); //outputs 'false'
}
