Im doing this game as final project for graduation and I want all imagery available and dynamicly loadable from a directory without a need to have it all imported into a library.

So is there a way to load external image and convert it to BitmapData or get its content at pixel level?

[edit]Cause I dont see any. If I load it with loadMovie, it becomes content of a MC and I dont know af any functionality to work with a MC as with a bitmap and any other loading method is not know to me too.[/edit]
