Hi everyone!

I have been pulling my hair out on this one for too long. I have a web banner that uses **Erik Hallander’s Pixelator Class**. Everything works fine when the timeline plays just once, but as soon as it loops I get error:

\*\*ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData.  
\*\*  
I have tried removeChild, removeEventListener, nulling the variables involved, disposing of the BitmapData. I also tried some conditional statements depending on the loop but no success. The actual class code is beyond my experience.

What am I missing? Thanks for your help.
