Hey all…

Is there an easy way to change a bitmap from the Library with a bitmap that I’ve created from a URL? Basically, I have a prebuilt animation that someone else created with a bitmap from the Library, and I need to swap this bitmap out with a different one each time the animation loops… the new image will be downloaded from a URL and will be the same size and everything, so I was hoping to find an easy way to just ‘erase’ a bitmap in the Library and copy a new one in its place. The images are lossless PNG’s if that matters.

Thanks for any advice you can offer… If there’s a better/easier method than what I’m suggesting, please let me know! 🙂
