bitmap data as movie clip

I import my images with

imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete); imageLoader.load(imageRequest);

and then try and cast as a movieclip:

var newImage:MovieClip = imageLoader.content as MovieClip; addChild(newImage);

i keep getting errors, is this possible?

Thanks,

Ross

you can only do that when the loader has completed loading.

so if that bit of code is in the onComplete function, and you're doing var newImage:MovieClip = e.content as MovieClip;, that should work.

What specific errors are you getting?

Don't cast it as a MovieClip. Just add the loader to the stage, like this:

addChild(imageLoader);
