For example, i have an object (like square or something) and i need to animate it’s decomposition and motion tween parts away 🙂 What would be the best approach to do that? My idea was something like: if this object is an image, maybe there is a BitmapData method that allows me to cut off a certain part of it so that i can save that part as movie clip and then tween it away?

thanks
