Export MovieClip to swf

[Paul Ferrie]

Hey guys not been round this way in a little while.
Someone said flash was dying but I beg to differ. Anyways...

I've been asked if it is possible to export a movieclip to swf.
I've played about with exporting images from flash with using byteArray but I am having issue trying to do similar for swf export. I know there will probably be some one of doing it but i just don't know how.

Can anyone post any pointers?

I found a couple of post's on SO but neither had any in-depth explanation.

Thanks and keep FLASHING!!!

right click on the movieclip in the library.
choose export to swf.

Sorry maybe I was not clear.

I mean from the swf not from within Flash.
I want to click a button in my swf and it will make a copy of an swf I have loaded into an empty movieclip. I want to have this copy then saved to my server.

Do you understand what it is i am trying to do?

A - So the SWF is modified after it is loaded, and you want to save the modified swf?
B - You're loading the swf from another domain and want to save a copy of it to your server?
Sorry, maybe I don't understand what you're actually trying to do.

A - Yes
B - No
