Just want to turn a jpg into a Sprite dynamically.

Correct answer Craig Grummitt

When you load an external jpg, your Loader.content is of type flash.display.Bitmap. I don't believe you can convert this Bitmap to a Sprite.

Why do you need it to be a Sprite? Bitmap is a display object.

If you definitely need a Sprite, all i can think of is to create a Sprite and add the Bitmap to your sprite using Sprite.addChild.

Your example takes an existing MC in the library and puts it on the stage.  I'm trying to find a way to load a jpg from a folder and convert to a Sprite.
