how do I draw a bitmap to an image's graphic object?
Here is my code now:
var bmp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(this.width,this.height);
bmp.draw(this);
drawingCanvas.graphics.lineStyle();
drawingCanvas.graphics.beginBitmapFill(bmp);
drawingCanvas.graphics.drawRect(this.x,this.y,this.width,this.height);
drawingCanvas.graphics.endFill();
this = Image to be added
drawingCanvas = Main Image
The issue with my code above is that it basically adds the bmp to the entire image and then makes the part (this.width,this.height) visible. In this case the only way for a bitmap to be added succesfully would be for the x and y coordinates of the drawRect to be 0. Otherwise I only see a portion of the image which may be repeated showing half of one image and half of another.
What I want to do is to litteraly place the contents of one Image directly into the graphics object of another image at a specified x and y coordinate.
You can't just add the BitmapData to a Bitmap and add that as a child on the object?
If for some reason you must draw this into your object's graphics object, then I believe you have to use a trick involving a combination of a translation Matrix and drawRect().
The reason I can't just add it as a child is because I need to save the final image to a file. If there are multiple children tied to this image I don't believe I can save all of them to a file, can I?
