This is the semi-long awaited BitmapData Tutorial. I'm really sorry if it doens't help AT ALL, but I mean...BitmapData is hard to explain, mostly because there's REALLY NOTHING to it. I'm being serious, stop trying to wrap your head around something that's as simple as "2+2=4". Think of 'BitmapData' as just a name -- like String, Array, and Number....Ah well, good luck!

I've also made a few source examples (3). 2 in AS3, and 1 in AS2. The AS2 one is the same as an AS3 one, so yeah...I'm a bum.

Anyway, any questions or comments, or things you'd like me to explain, comment here! Better than notes because other people can learn from your issues!

Also, the AS3 examples are saved under Flash CS3, where as the AS2 example is saved under Flash 8.

Hmm i found Adobe flash help more then enough. There are some less documented topics like Component restyling tough...

That's what I tell people -- Flash's 'Help' and Documentation is enough to get the gist, and the examples they give are good enough to do the job!

But unfortenaltly there are exceptions. There is no good documentation component styles and there were some other things...

Nice tutorial...I've played around with BitMap Data in flash and always found the documentation of it to be a bit iffy but this does a good job summing it up.


>_> Damn I need to get a new copy of Flash for AS3.

Yeah, AS3 really pwns...I mean, 10x faster?! Makes working with large arrays SO much easier!
