I’m having trouble trying to figure out how to convert a transparent PNG to bitmapData. Any help? I’m losing transparency at draw() I think…

Edit: Never mind… 0xFFFFFFFF needed to be 0x00FFFFFF.

```auto

    var levelBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(1300, 450, true, 0xFFFFFFFF);
    var levelRect = new Rectangle(0,0,1300,450);
    var levelPoint = new Point (0,0);
    levelBitmapData.draw(levelLoader);
    var bitmapLevel = new Bitmap(levelBitmapData);
    addChild(bitmapLevel);

```
