Hello -

New to AS3 - having some problems.

I have used fileRef to allow user to load an external image to a swf. This works well.

But… How do I access the image to add smoothing to it?

Here is a code snippet:

```auto
function onFileLoaded(e:Event):void {
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    loader.loadBytes(e.target.data);
    this.mcImage.addChild(loader);

```

Any help would be really appreciated - Shupe
