BitmapData Resize and rotation

Question

Hi there,
I'm having some problems manipulating an image with AS3 and Flash Player 10.
I've managed to edit a Bitmap from a local image by changing it's size and rotation with the help of class Matrix.
The problem is that now I want to save the new image to the disk as a PNG file.
I'm using a PNG as encoder that requires a BitmaData.
When I passed that Bitmap.bitmapData all of the matrix changes do not get reflected in the bitmapData.
Here is the code:
var BMP:Bitmap  = Bitmap (LOADERINFO.content);
      BMP.pixelSnapping = PixelSnapping.ALWAYS;
      BMP.smoothing     = true;
      BMP.bitmapData.lock ();
var scale:Number = .2;
var matrix:Matrix = BMP.transform.matrix;
      matrix.rotate(90*(Math.PI/180));
      matrix.scale (scale,scale);
     BMP.transform.matrix = matrix;
var BMPD:BitmapData = new BitmapData ( BMP.width, BMP.height, true, 0x00000000 );
      BMPD.draw(BMP);
var BMP2:Bitmap = new Bitmap ( BMPD, PixelSnapping.ALWAYS, true );
// JUST TO TEST
addChild (BMP);
addChild (BMP2);
Thanks,
PM
