I am using pixelfumes reflect class to create a releflection, the problem i have is

(i) It only accepts reference to a movieclip.

(ii) I cannot cast my binary data as a movieClip

**var item:Bitmap** has to stay as a bitmap so either I make a copy of it as a moveclip and reflect it **or** find a way to pass it directly into the **new Reflect()** constructor.

Many thanks.

var item:Bitmap = Bitmap(evt.currentTarget.loader.content);  
this.addChild(item);

```
         var test_mc:MovieClip;
                test_mc = MovieClip(evt.currentTarget.loader.content);
        
    var r1:Reflect = new Reflect({mc:test_mc, alpha:50, ratio:50,
distance:0, updateTime:0, reflectionDropoff:1});
```
