Without going into the complexities of what I'm trying to do, just assume that's a no go for now... I just want to know if it's possible or not in order to avoid trying to bodge it.
A related issue is if I bitmapData.draw(mc) then I can only draw in the parts of the mc that are below left of the reg. point - what use is that? Hence why I thought I must be missing something?
