Adobe Flash CS6 Layer Effects Not Showing in Export Image

Hey, I'm trying to export an artwork I made in Flash CS6 but I used layer effects as well (glow, gradient etc) by using movie clip option instead of graphic. Reason was because most of the effects in movie clip aren't available in graphic, which is a shame. Anyways, when I export as a PNG, the layer effects are missing on the final image. I tried converting the movie clip into graphics and that didn't work either so.

I know this is a very old version that is unsupported, but I would like some assistance if possible please. Thank you.

    Filters will not render above a certain resolution. If the pixel size of the object the filter is applied to is larger than roughly 2000 pixels, it will not be visible.

    The solution is to reduce/crop the object's size or shrink the stage.
