The following will create a copy of "graphics_mc" and draw it in a new 
movieclip "graphicsCopy_mc"

import flash.display.BitmapData;
var graphics_mc:MovieClip;

var bmp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(graphics_mc._width, graphics_mc._height, 
true, 0);
bmp.draw(graphics_mc);

var bmp_mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("graphicsCopy_mc", 
this.getNextHighestDepth());
bmp_mc._x = graphics_mc._width + 100;
bmp_mc.attachBitmap(bmp, bmp_mc.getNextHighestDepth());

If you want to alter the BitmapData, look into:

BitmapData (flash.display.BitmapData)
ColorTransform (flash.geom.ColorTransform)
Matrix (flash.geom.Matrix)
Rectangle (flash.geom.Rectangle)
Transform (flash.geom.Transform)
all the filters under flash.filters.*

There's plenty of samples in the docs.

regards,
Muzak
