  I feel like I’m going crazy here. I have a circle inside a MovieClip. The (x,y) position of the circle inside the MovieClip is (0,0).  I’m applying a BlurFilter to the MovieClip the circle is in. I’d like to create some BitmapData based on the filtered MovieClip. Here’s my code. var blur:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter( 20, [...]
