Copying greensock LoaderMax ContentDisplay item
In order to copy a ContentDisplay item and thus be able to use the same bitmap asset multiple times in your application, you need to clone its BitmapData and make a new Bitmap out of it. Like so: public function getCopyOfAsset(asset:String):Bitmap { // get asset from your LoaderMax queue var content:ContentDisplay = myLoaderMax.getContent(asset); // access and clone source bitmap's BitmapData var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(Bitmap(content.getChildAt(0)).bitmapData.clone()); return bmp; }
