Hey all, bit bricked up with this one I’m trying to take screenshots at every node in the navigation so that I can put it in the next node as an icon (as a sort of back button).

I’ve created a package

```auto
package com.lah {
	public class bd
	{
		BitmapData(stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight);
		public static var data:Object = {};
	}
}

```

then captured the screen

```auto
import com.lah.bd;

var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.stageWidth,stage.stageHeight);
bd.draw(stage);

```

finally in the next node I want to display the captured image as an icon

```auto
addChild (bd) ;

```

i keep getting this message

1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:BitmapData to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.
