nope but you can convert (snapshot) a movieclip to bitmap data or attach
bitmap data to a movieclip to display it.

If you have Adobe Creative Suite CS2, you could set up an automation script in

I get that error whenever my JavaScript references an ActionScript function

like i said in the other mail, -mx prevents mtasc compiling the mx.* classes so
you will want to generate the swf in MMC and then inject the new code when you

also, you might like this delegate implementation :
The mx package is not fully compatible with MTASC, so you have to apply

In earlier versions of flash if varaibles were appeneded on to the end of
the url (i.e. movie.swf?frame=6size=30) you could access the varaibles with
just their names or _root.[varaible name]. With the loss of _root in AS3 how
would you accomplish this?

Oh, the Array(obj) thing ruined my day a month or so ago, as I didn't
know the FlashIDE was treating that as constructing an array instead
of casting. Does the same with String(obj) (new string instead of
cast). Took me a long while to figure that one out.
