You can read all parts of Shape.

New feature added to Flash Player 11.6 and AIR 3.6:

Example:

var s :Shape = new Shape();
s.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0xFF0000);
s.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 50)

var gd:Vector. = s.graphics.readGraphicsData(false);

var copy_of_s :Shape = new Shape();
copy_of_s.graphics.drawGraphicsData(gd);

addChild(copy_of_s);
