I was trying to load a .bmp file using the Loader class but kept getting errors saying that the image was of an unknown type. I tryed saving the picture as a .png and the loader worked immediately. Is there something that one has to do differently for loading .bmp’s?
Refer to this thread
it seems like loadmovie can’t load BMps
The Loader class is used to load SWF files or image (JPG, PNG, or GIF) files. Is there a reason that the file has to be in BMP format?
BMPs aren’t all that web friendly, i’d go with pngs
and if you have like 100 BMPs, theres mass converting software i think. Just google it
Thanks.
I was just saving them as bmp’s because I knew what that file type was. To keep things easy I resaved them as png’s and now that part works.
