Load external image to fill movieclip bg

[Sesinet]

Hi guys,
I need to fill some movieclip with an external image in AS3. I know how to use an image contained in the FLA's library as background filling, but I don't know how to do this with an external loaded image.

Thank you for your help!

Save the attached file to a folder. Open a new fla file, save it in the same folder of AS file and press F9 to open the code editor. Type this:

import Image;
// suppose that mc is the instance of the MovieClip you want to fill
var img:Image = new Image ("imagename.jpg", mc.width, mc.height);
addChild(img);

It should work. Hope it helps.

Thank u a lot giobongio!
The only problem is that the bitmap is "fitted" to the size of movieclip, instead I need that it has been repeated "n" times to fill the mc...is it possible to use the BitmapFill in any way?

Thank you another time...
