merge layers with their filters?!

Hey Good day,


Is there any method in Flash cs6, we could merge layers with filters?!

I have assigned some filters (Drop Shadow / Glow/etc.) to several  MovieClips in my flash design.

Now if I select the "Direct/Cpu" render mode, the speed will dramatically slow down.

If I select the "GPU" render mode, the speed is perfect but I lose all effects (shadows, glows, etc.)


What is the best solution in this case?

In Adobe Photoshop there is an option (Rasterize Layer Styles) to merge layers with all styles.


Is there any similar option in Adobe Flash to merge movie-clips with filters??


Thanks a lot

you can use a bitmapdata object to create a bitmap of your untransformed movieclip (using the draw method) and use applyfilter method to apply a filter to your bitmapdata object.
