Hi,
You can also use the below approach to  capture the BitmapData of your moviclip(myClip).
So that you can make use of matrix class to resize the bitmap image.
     var myClip:MovieClip = event.target as MovieClip;
     var imageBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(myClip.width,myClip.height);
    var pngEncode:PNGEncoder = new PNGEncoder();
    var ba:ByteArray = pngEncode.encode(imageBitmapData);
    var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
    imageBitmapData.draw(myClip,m);
    m.scale(1.2,1);
