Need help generating still from Flash.

I have to generate a series of storyboards from some flash animation that I've done. This is turning out to be a huge problem, because the composition uses nested movies, and if I'm in the main movie and try to export to a single image, image sequence, or Quicktime movie it only exports whatever the Flash application sees in the main movie, which is only the first frame of the nested movies, and not the entire nested movie. If I go into the sub-movies it screens out the colors on the main comp, so I can't just go into them and generate the files. Anybody have any ideas?
edit: here's a more specific description of the problem.
I have a flash movie that has symbols of the type "movie clip" on the timeline. When I try to export in any format other than a flash movie, I see only the first frame of each movie clip instead of seeing them rendered out as they appear when I export and play an SWF movie.

If you're not sure about the print-screen feature in windows:
Its a button on your keyboard usually next to F12 and above Insert. Pressing it will put it in the clipboard, so when you ctrl+v it will paste it into whatever you want. Just open an image editing program, and you're good to go.
