Loading an external .jpg, .png, or .gif bitmap image file in ActionScript 3.0…

This tutorial will show you how to load external images using AS3 in Flash and Flex, as well as to handle events such as the completion of the image loading for true interactivity….

Well ‘levels’ are not really applicable to AS3 per se. It is really based around the Display List system…. You can control the layers of your images by ordering their place in the display list.

Display objects (such as your background) can be higher or lower in the display list. You could put all of your objects ‘on top of’, or ‘higher’ in the dislay list.

I would read the Adobe tutorials to get some background on this.

I’m trying to load the image and place it in the background, but I have yet to grasp not using levels in AS3.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

And what happen if I want to threat that image as a BitMapData?

As you said: “If we want to manipulate it as a Bitmap however, we will have to cast it to the correct data type (not covered in this tutorial). ”

How can I do this?
