When i want to use the image, I instantiate Texture, but this time I get a BitmapData object, so I have to rewrite the code that uses the image too.<br /><br />There's inconcistancy in the asset handling between Flex and CS3 at compile time.<br /><br />Further, and this has to be a bug, when you instantiate the class representing the image, youhave to give it fake height and width values, like this:<br />var pic:BitmapData = new Texture( 10, 10 );<br />These values can be anything. They are never used and should not be, as the real image values are used. petit 0 0 2007-09-05T15:11:46
