How to access a graphic that has been added to the stage in Adobe Flash Pro (CS5)

I added a graphic to the stage and I need to access it from actionscript开发者_C百科, any idea how to do that?

You need to convert your graphic to a MovieClip:

• Click on your graphics
• Press F8
• Click OK
• Click on the newly created MovieClip, then assign an instance name to it in the Properties dialog

You can then access the MovieClip from ActionScript.

Edit:

To convert the graphic to a BitmapData, just use the draw function:

var bmpData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(yourMc.width, yourMc.height);
bmpData.draw(yourMc);

var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmpData);
addChild(bmp);
