I know you work for Adobe. I was wondering if you had any influence to adding things to to the AS3 framework. I noticed something about the BitmapData object. It doesn’t have any form of the graphics object that the derived DisplayObjects have. This means that when I wish to render a polygon region from one BitmapData to another I am forced to create a Shape object and render to that then draw it to my desired BitmapData.
I was wondering why no direct method for rendering a polygon region from one BitmapData to another exists. Or did they find that it makes sense for people to allocate a whole new object just to render?
I made a post about this a while ago, but no one had much experience in the area I guess.
I was hoping you could clarify my ideas and maybe help to get this implemented in a future version of the flash.
Thanks for you time.
