Loader Class | Smoothing Content

[jscarlip]

I have a loader class that loads a png. When that png is finished loading I start scaling the graphic back and forth. It will works fine except the graphic when scaling DOES NOT look smooth. I know how to make Bitmap objects smooth. But the Loader class instance's content property is not a bitmap. so I can't set it to smoothing = true. I need to get it smooth. Any help would be appreciated.

var loaderSamosa = new Loader();
loaderSamosa.load( new URLRequest( "__assets/pulsing_samosa.png" ) );
			
loaderSamosa.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, showSamosa );
addChild( loaderSamosa );

private function showSamosa( e:Event ):void {
	loaderSamosa.cacheAsBitmap = true;
	loaderSamosa.content.cacheAsBitmap = true;
	//THIS MAKE THE SAMOSA GRAPHIC GET SMALLER AND LARGER
	SpecialAnimations.pulsate( loaderSamosa, .75, true );
}

When you load a bitmap the content is a bitmap.

Hey thanks cancerinform I got this going

bitMapSamosa = Bitmap(__loaderSamosa.content);
bitMapSamosa.smoothing = true;		
addChild( bitMapSamosa );

I also took away this line

addChild( loaderSamosa );

And it works now. Cheers!
