Check this out, it’s pretty awesome (if by awesome you mean not awesome).

Put a bitmap inside a clip linked to a class.

do

```auto

var $test:DisplayObject = getChildAt(0);
trace($test);

```

Will trace out;  
[Object\_Shape]

Even more interestingly, you can make this even more perverted by doing

```auto

$test.graphics.clear();

```

which will proceed to remove the bitmap.

What the hell? Why are all bitmaps being converted to shapes with bitmap fills? :zipper:
