Description

Steps to reproduce:
The _bitmapData property of the BitmapImage class is private. Accessing this data through the public 'bitmapData' accessor causes the data to be copied which is very inefficient. Please make the _bitmapData property either protected or mx_internal so it can be accessed in a derived class.
