Memory usage on loaded bitmaps.

Question

Hi,When loading an image from a folder (1920x1920) and adding to stage, the memory use in Scout goes up to 14.4mb (Bitmap DisplayObjects).When instantiating the same image from library and adding to stage, the memory stays at 3.6mb.Am I missing something?I'm running CS6 with Air 23.Here's my code:public function loadBitmap(): void{var loader:Loader = new Loader();loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);loader.load(new URLRequest("app:/assets/images/WIND.png"));}function onLoaded(event){var bitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(event.target.content.bitmapData, "auto", true);addChild(bitmap);}function loadFromLibrary(){var bitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(new Wind(0,0), "auto", true);addChild(bitmap);}Regards,T

1920x1920x4/1024=14400Image consist from pixel. Width * height = amount of pixels. Each pixel can use alpha. So without alpha it's 3 channels RGB and with alpha it's 4 channels ARGB. So 1920x1920x4 it's width * height * channels count = 14745600 bytes it's 14 400 kb's or 14.4 mb

		public function loadBitmap(): void
		{
			var loader:Loader = new Loader();
			loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
			loader.load(new URLRequest("app:/assets/images/WIND.png"));
		}

		function onLoaded(event){
			var bitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(event.target.content.bitmapData, "auto", true);
			addChild(bitmap);
		}

		function loadFromLibrary(){
			var bitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(new Wind(0,0), "auto", true);
			addChild(bitmap);
		}
