Is there any way to know when the draw method has finished it’s work?

I’m kind of duplicating a movieclip into itself and applying a blur filter and a mask to create a reflection, but if i move or scale the MC before the draw method finishes then it doesn’t create the reflection.

Any pointers to a solution will be apreciated.

Thanks in advanced.
