Constructor Detail

()

Constructor

public function FlexBitmap(bitmapData:BitmapData = null, pixelSnapping:String = "auto", smoothing:Boolean = false)

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Constructor.

Sets the name property to a string returned by the createUniqueName() method of the mx.utils.NameUtils class. This string is the name of the object's class concatenated with an integer that is unique within the application, such as "FlexBitmap12".

Parameters

	`bitmapData:BitmapData` (default = `null`) — The data for the bitmap.

	`pixelSnapping:String` (default = "`auto`") — Whether or not the bitmap is snapped to the nearest pixel.

	`smoothing:Boolean` (default = `false`) — Whether or not the bitmap is smoothed when scaled.

Returns a string indicating the location of this object within the hierarchy of DisplayObjects in the Application. This string, such as "MyApp0.HBox5.FlexBitmap12", is built by the displayObjectToString() method of the mx.utils.NameUtils class from the name property of the object and its ancestors.

Returns

String — A String indicating the location of this object within the DisplayObject hierarchy.
