Need help filling an already existing movie clip with a bitmap

programming flash

Hello All,

I have a PNG imported into my library and exported for use in Action script. On the stage, I have a swatchFill movie clip. Currently I have code that will transform the fill to a solid color, however I’m getting into metallic swatches and the colorTransform function will no longer work.

Here is my existing code:

...
...
public var swatchFill:MovieClip;
...
...
public function setColor($colorValue:uint, $colorName:String = null, $colorNum:int = -1 ):void {
            _colorValue = $colorValue;
            if ($colorName != null)
                _colorName = $colorName;
            if ($colorNum >= 0)
                _colorNumber = $colorNum;
                
            var tmpTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
            tmpTransform.color = $colorValue;
            swatchFill.transform.colorTransform = tmpTransform;
        }

I’ve created a new BitmapData consisting of my linked bitmap, however I don’t know how to apply this image to the swatchFill movie clip.

                        var imgBD:BitmapData=new Metallic_blue(1,1);
            var metallicBlueImage:Bitmap=new Bitmap(imgBD);
            
                        // Below code produces a compiler error!!
            swatchFill.beginBitmapFill(imgBD, null, true);

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
