Flash As2 Image snapshot

Is there 开发者_JAVA百科any approach to take the snapshot of a drawing created in pure AS2 flash coding ? I tried to use Bitmapdata and bridge but bitmap works in as3 and bridge combines two swf together and communicate with them.

Is there a way of doing screenshot in as2 ?

Yes, it can be done in AS2, but it will be a lot slower than in AS3.

Here is an old pre-AS3 example:
