You can still get the dimensions using bitmapfile
//loadcomplete
e.target.bitmap.width

Personally, I would only do it that way if I didn't know the dimensions
of the bitmap and wanted to get them from the loader before applying it
to the plane.  In PV3D you can use BitmapFileMaterial to load the
transparent .png and then apply that material to your plane.  It also
supports the LOAD_COMPLETE event so you know when it's finished loading.


_material = new BitmapFileMaterial("myFile.png");
_material.addEventListener(FileLoadEvent.LOAD_COMPLETE,
onMaterialLoadComplete);
var myPlane:Plane = new Plane(_material, 400, 500, 8, 8);

What I do is make the plane's visibility = false until the material is
loaded.

Practice?

hi all,

this is a simple. i'm just wondering about a "best practice" way to do
it:

i'm loading (transparent) png images from an xml files to use them as
moviematerial
(to remain transparency) for a plane object.

move the bitmap from the loader to an movieclip first (addchild) and
then use that movieclip as
moviematerial, or is there some nicer way to do so? maybe even the
bitmap material does have
transparency support right now?

just dont like the idea to add non visible movieclips to the stage
before i use them as material...
that's why i'm asking.

thanks: lars
