bmp:setPosition(200, 0)
stage:addChild(bmp)

--updating source updated Bitmap
local frame = 0
stage:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function(event)
	local r = math.sin(frame * 0.03) * 0.3 + 0.7
	local g = math.sin(frame * 0.04) * 0.3 + 0.7
	local b = math.sin(frame * 0.05) * 0.3 + 0.7
	source:setColorTransform(r, g, b, 1)
	frame = frame + 1
	rt:draw(source)
end)
