There's no way to cast a BitmapData object to a Sprite or Movieclip datatype. However, you can add it to the sprite/movie clip's display list (make it a child of it).<br />
<br />
To add it to a new Sprite or MovieClip<br />
mySprite = new Sprite();<br />
mySprite.addChild(bm);<br />
<br />
But you probably already knew how to do that. :)

For some reason when I add bm to a movieClip of Sprite it does not work. I can just add bm to the main stage by writing: &nbsp;addChild(bm) &nbsp; &nbsp;but whenever I try to stuff like &nbsp;myMovieClip.addChild(bm) there is an error. Is it iposible to add a bitmap to a MovieClip?

I have the following code to create a new BitmapData. How could I convert this bitmap to a new MovieClip or Sprite?<br />
<br />
var myMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix();<br />
myMatrix.tx=55;<br />
myMatrix.ty=55;<br />
var myBitmapData:BitmapData=ne<wbr />w BitmapData(400,400,false,0<wbr />x009966);<br />
