/**

 * A BlitMask is basically a rectangular Sprite that acts as a high-performance mask for a DisplayObject

 * by caching a bitmap version of it and blitting only the pixels that should be visible at any given time,

 * although its <code>bitmapMode</code> can be turned off to restore interactivity in the DisplayObject 

 * whenever you want. When scrolling very large images or text blocks, a BlitMask can greatly improve 

 * performance, especially on mobile devices that have weaker processors. <br /><br />

 * 

 * Here are some of the conveniences BlitMask offers:<br />

 * <ul>

 * 		<li>Excellent scrolling performance</li>

 * 		<li>You don't need to do anything special with your target DisplayObject - move/scale/rotate it 

 * 			however you please and then <code>update()</code> the BlitMask and it syncs the pixels.

 * 			The BlitMask basically sits on top of the DisplayObject in the display list and you can 

 * 			move it independently too if you want.</li>

 * 		<li>Use the BlitMask's <code>scrollX</code> and <code>scrollY</code> properties to move the

 * 			target DisplayObject inside the masked area. For example, to scroll from top to bottom over 

 * 			the course of 2 seconds, simply do: <br /><code>myBlitMask.scrollY = 0;<br />

 * 			TweenLite.to(myBlitMask, 2, {scrollY:1});</code> </li>

 * 		<li>Use the "wrap" feature to make the bitmap wrap around to the opposite side when it scrolls 

 * 			off one of the edges (only in <code>bitmapMode</code> of course), as though the BlitMask is 

 * 			filled with a grid of bitmap copies of the target.</li>

 * 		<li>For maximum performance in bitmapMode, set <code>smoothing</code> to <code>false</code> or 

 * 			for maximum quality, set it to <code>true</code></li>

 * 		<li>You can toggle the <code>bitmapMode</code> to get either maximum performance or interactivity 

 * 			in the target DisplayObject anytime. (some other solutions out there are only viable for 

 * 			non-interactive bitmap content) </li>

 * 		<li>MouseEvents are dispatched by the BlitMask, so you can listen for clicks, rollovers, rollouts, etc.</li>

 * </ul>

 * 

 * @example Example AS3 code:<listing version="3.0">

 import com.greensock.~~;

 

 //create a 200x200 BlitMask positioned at x:20, y:50 to mask our "mc" object and turn smoothing on:

 var blitMask:BlitMask = new BlitMask(mc, 20, 50, 200, 200, true);

 

 //position mc at the top left of the BlitMask using the scrollX and scrollY properties

 blitMask.scrollX = 0;

 blitMask.scrollY = 0;

 

 //tween the scrollY to make mc scroll to the bottom over the course of 3 seconds and then turn off bitmapMode so that mc becomes interactive:

 TweenLite.to(blitMask, 3, {scrollY:1, onComplete:blitMask.disableBitmapMode});

 

 //or simply position mc manually and then call update() to sync the display:

 mc.x = 350;

 blitMask.update();

 

 </listing>

 * 

 * Notes:

 * <ul>

 * 		<li>BlitMasks themselves should not be rotated or scaled (although technically you can alter the scaleX and scaleY 

 * 			but doing so will only change the width or height instead). You can, of course, alter their x, y, width, 

 * 			or height properties as much as you want. </li>

 * 		<li>BlitMasks don't perform nearly as well in bitmapMode when the <code>target</code> is being scaled or rotated 

 * 			because it forces a flushing and recapture of the internal bitmap. BlitMasks are <b>MUCH</b> better when you are

 * 			simply changing x/y properties (scrolling) because it can reuse the same cached bitmap over and over.</li>

 * 		<li>If the target content is changing frequently (like if it has nested MovieClips that are animating on every frame),

 * 			you'd need to call update(null, true) each time you want the BlitMask to redraw itself to sync with the changes 

 * 			in the target, but that's a relatively expensive operation so it's not a great use case for BlitMask. You may

 * 			be better off just turning off bitmapMode during that animation sequence.</li>

 * </ul><br /><br />

		 * Constructor

		 * 

		 * @param target The DisplayObject that will be masked by the BlitMask

		 * @param x x coorinate of the upper left corner of the BlitMask. If <code>smoothing</code> is <code>false</code>, the x coordinate will be rounded to the closest integer.

		 * @param y y coordinate of the upper right corner of the BlitMask

		 * @param width width of the BlitMask (in pixels)

		 * @param height height of the BlitMask (in pixels)

		 * @param smoothing If <code>false</code> (the default), the bitmap (and the BlitMask's x/y coordinates) will be rendered only on whole pixels which is faster in terms of processing. However, for the best quality and smoothest animation, set <code>smoothing</code> to <code>true</code>.

		 * @param autoUpdate If <code>true</code>, the BlitMask will automatically watch the <code>target</code> to see if its position/scale/rotation has changed on each frame (while <code>bitmapMode</code> is <code>true</code>) and if so, it will <code>update()</code> to make sure the BlitMask always stays synced with the <code>target</code>. This is the easiest way to use BlitMask but it is slightly less efficient than manually calling <code>update()</code> whenever you need to. Keep in mind that if you're tweening with TweenLite or TweenMax, you can simply set its <code>onUpdate</code> to the BlitMask's <code>update()</code> method to keep things synced. Like <code>onUpdate:myBlitMask.update</code>.

		 * @param fillColor The ARGB hexadecimal color that should fill the empty areas of the BlitMask. By default, it is transparent (0x00000000). If you wanted a red color, for example, it would be <code>0xFFFF0000</code>.

		 * @param wrap If <code>true</code>, the bitmap will be wrapped around to the opposite side when it scrolls off one of the edges (only in <code>bitmapMode</code> of course), like the BlitMask is filled with a grid of bitmap copies of the target. Use the <code>wrapOffsetX</code> and <code>wrapOffsetY</code> properties to affect how far apart the copies are from each other.
