Hello,

I imported a image file to my library and exported it for Actionscript. Which it created a new class that extends the bitmapdata class.

Do I create an instance of that data and pass it to a sprite and add the sprite to the stage so I can display the image when I compile the file into a swf? Ive tried that and get an error saying that I need two arguments.

I guess im just not sure what to do with the bitmapdata class.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Phil
