use the draw() method of the bitmapdata class to create a bitmapdata instance and then use the getPixel() method of the bitmapdata class.

I use bitmapdata to get the pixel color,but I got a trouble.

var bmp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(this.width,this.height,false);

bmp.draw(this);

trace(bmp.getPixel(event.localX,event.localY));

when the bmp call draw() function ,the ie report an a problem occured by the FIDbg10b.ocx and ended the program.

what wrong with this code?
