Is there a way to texturize a display group?

I tried to use the object.fill.effect = “filter.swirl” on a image group that contained a solid fill and display text but nothing.

It works as expected on a display image of course, but is there any way to merge/flatten the contents of a display group that results in a texture that the filter effects can be used?

This capability would greatly expand the opportunity for the advanced graphics.

I’m not sure, I have noticed that these f/x don’t work on some of my Android devices, so it mightn’t be too much of a good idea to rely on them at present.

I’d think display.save() texturizes the display group prior to saving it, so a fuction that returned (as a texture/image object) prior to saving would work fine. Possibly an undocumented feature?
