Creating array of Bitmaps from loaded swf

Question

so ive got a swf, quite simply it contains an embedded Video
object, an flv. what i need to do is load it in (done) goto each of
its frames in turn and convert said frames to Bitmaps, thus
creating a single, unique Bitmap for each frame of the flv Video.
crikey, how the hell can i do this? :)

Answer 1

so i've just discovered that, as someone on some webpage
somewhere said 'BitmapData is your friend. having discovered this i
found the answer. the code's a bit rood, just test code crudely
c&p'ed but heres what seems to be the broad answer to my own
question:
private function completeHandler(event:Event):void
var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(loader.content);
mc.gotoAndStop(1);
var bmd1:BitmapData = new BitmapData(320,240);
var bm1:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmd1, "auto", true);
bmd1.draw(mc);
mc.gotoAndStop(1000);
var bmd2:BitmapData = new BitmapData(320,240);
var bm2:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bmd2, "auto", true);
bmd2.draw(mc);
addChild(bm1);
addChild(bm2);
bm2.y = 240;
}
