MovieClip alpha / filters butchered when printing...

[tibberous]

I am trying to print an externally loaded SWF that has several filters and alpha transparent layers. Is there a way I can convert a movie clip to a static bitmap? If so I was thinking I could create a new movie clip, draw on a white background, add the swf I was to print, and then get the bitmap of the whole thing put together (then it wouldn't be alpha transparent or have filters)

Not sure if you want this.
You may try the draw method from the BitmapData Class

var bitmapData:BitmpaData = new BitmapData(width, height);
bitmapData.draw(your_movie_clip);

var bitmap:Bitmpa = new Bitmap(bitmapData);

addChild(bitmap);
