For some reason I can’t seem to get it to work. The transparent pixels are showing up as solid white. Any ideas? :ponder:

```auto

private function getTileFromSheet (s:Number):Bitmap {
			var tsize:int = 32;
			var sheet:BitmapData;
			sheet = new SpriteSheet(); 
			
			var sheetColumns:int = sheet.width / tsize;
			var col:int = s % sheetColumns;
			var row:int = Math.floor(s / sheetColumns);
			var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(col * tsize, row * tsize, tsize, tsize);
			var pt:Point = new Point(0, 0);
			**var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(tsize, tsize, true, 0);**
**bmd.copyPixels(sheet, rect, pt, null, null, true);**
**var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmd);**
 **return bmp;**
		}
 
private function drawTile (s:Number, xt:int, yt:int):void {
			var bmp:Bitmap = **getTileFromSheet(s);**
			var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, tileSize, tileSize);
			var pt:Point = new Point(xt * tileSize, yt * tileSize);
			**canvas.bitmapData.copyPixels (bmp.bitmapData, rect, pt, null, null, true);**
		}

```
