I’m learning AS3 now for the very first time 
I’ve been putting it off, as I have been in an AS2 comfort zone, but it’s silly really, at some point I need to learn AS3, I may as well start now.
I’ve got my head around AS3 classes a bit, and using copyPixels purely with BM rendering, no MCs, no sprites etc.
However, instead of just drawing a coloured rectangle for particles, I’m having trouble attaching a bitmap.
In AS2 you did it like this…
[AS]var pic:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap(“myPic”);[/AS]
With myPic being the identifier of the JPG in the library.
No there is no identifier, just class name, but how do I introduce the pic as a BMD object? And from an external class not the FLA? Not even necessarily attach it to the stage, just load it into memory as BMD, so I can copy pixels from it.
I know it’s basic, but I’m an AS3/OOP noob and I can’t seem to figure it out.
Cheers,
Joe
