Hello everyone,

Lets say I have a movieclip that allows drag and drop and this MC is for defining a pattern(like in photoshop), so I drop many things inside that MC. So know I’d like to save what it is inside that MC because I’d like to use it later on, is it posible to generate a SWF file or image(bitmap, jpg, etc) from that MC only??

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot in advance
