loadGraphic failing in Neko and Windows

[Ariel Cid]

Hi there!

I'm having some issues with FlxSprite.loadGraphic when I try to load a bitmapData in Neko and Windows targets. The code that is giving me trouble is this one (which is in the update function, after creating and initializing both FlxSprites):

playerFrame.loadGraphic(player.framePixels);

And the runtime error is this one:

Invalid field access : bitmap

Called from flixel.FlxSprite::loadGraphic line 311

Called from states.PlayState::update line 91

Called from flixel.FlxState::tryUpdate line 155

Called from flixel.FlxGame::update line 700

Called from flixel.FlxGame::step line 648

Called from flixel.FlxGame::onEnterFrame line 493

If someone could tell me what am I doing wrong, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

framePixels is by default unused (null) on native targets - invalid field access is basically a null reference exception. If loadGraphicFromSprite() or sprite.pixels.

Also, you're calling loadGraphic() every frame in update()?

I'm calling loadGraphic() every frame in update() because I'm using a dynamic alpha mask (it uses the current animation frame from the sprite).

So, if I use sprite.pixels, it doesn't get the current frame but the whole image (a huge spritesheet). Is there a better way to do this?

Try calling getFlxFrameBitmapData() before using framePixels to initialize it.

It worked wonderfully, thanks a lot! <3
