Flash does not have off-screen buffers like Director does. (Images that

Yes, bitmapdata == image
But as for as I understood  you can not have bitmap data that is not
attached to a movieclip. (correct me if I am wrong.)
 
Compare it with the difference between these two images.
 
img1 = image(100,100,32)
img2 = member("bitmap").image
 
It is faster to draw/copypixels using img1 than with img2.
 
In  Director you can compose an image using many copypixels  before
attaching  it to a bitmap member.
