i got swf has simplebuttons in stage, , need bitmap or bitmapdata information button states.

when load symbol, seems no matter composes button states, shapes, @ least that's in expression panel.

you can use bitmapdata#draw() bitmapdata displayobject. bitmapdata raster, aware lose features of vector shape

var bd:bitmapdata = new bitmapdata( shape.width, shape.height ); bd.draw( shape );
