ok, luckily a friend had an answer for me. if any body is curious, you can offset the negative space by passing a transformation matrix as a param to the draw() method.

has anyone tried to use the BitmapData.draw() method to draw a movieclip that has content in the negative coordinate space? it seems like no matter what i do, i can only get the draw() method to start from the point 0,0 in a movie clip, when i need it to start at say -20,-20. even passing the clipRect param to the method does not do what you would expect. am i missing something here? any solutions or workarounds would be appreciated. -- John Van Horn [EMAIL PROTECTED]
