AS3 - Bitmap Clone of masked area of loaded image

Content
1

Hi

Once again i have hit a brick wall and am in need of some help!

I have a 2 frame flash file

  • frame 1 the user has an externally loaded image on stage - where they can turn it into different shapes (using masks) and also drag it around…

-frame 2 a bitmap copy of the users selection/dragging gets taken and saved on the stage

On frame 2 i have the bitmap clone code in…:


var imageA1:Bitmap;
imageA1=new Bitmap(Bitmap(imageP1.content).bitmapData.clone());

…but i cannot target the correct object/movieclip/sprite for it to work (currently set at imageP1.content which just gives me the whole image) I basically need to target either a specific area of the stage or target the image within the mask ‘landscape_masks.landscape_mask_10x8.landscape_mask_10x8_main;’

The full code can be seen below and i have attached the fla file

Please, please help??

Many thanks in advance

John
