Hello,

I’m looking for a way to select an arbitrary rectangle from a Graphic Symbol (or Movie Clip) in an arbitrary layer and to copy and paste it somewhere else.

Any pointers would be appreciated and apolgies if I have overlooked this in another posting.

thanks,
Tony

If you have Flash 8, look into BitmapData and such. If not, I don’t think it’s possible.
