ActionScript Save Stage
Hi,
I've got a canvas thing going on here, where the user can draw what they want. I would like it if there is some way I can save the stage for them and provide a JPG output.
Normally I would output the coordinates to the PHP gd library but unforunately my host doesn't support that library. Hmpf.
Anyway, can anyone suggest an alternative way of saving the stage?
Cheers
Paul

SAVE THE STAGE AS A JPEG
Hi there...
Does anybody knows how to save the stage as a JPG?
I need the user to click on a map; this will position a bullet on the click coordinates. Then when the users click "save changes"... this will trigger the script to save the map window as a JPG in the server!
IS THIS POSSIBLE?
Thanks....

Save As 4 Instead Of 5 (w/ No Actionscript)
In a simple flash movie that doesn't use any actionscript, I discovered there is absolutely no difference in file size / preload frames (preload seconds) if it is published as either version 5 or 4. Is there any reason I would save as 5 instead of 4, seeing as choosing 4 includes a bit more of the un-upgraded masses?
I previously had been following the usual advice to save as version 5 for the most compatibility, but now can't see why not save as 4.
Actionscript To Save An Image

HELP Is There An ActionScript That Will Allow Me To Save To A File?
I am creating a standalone that will be sent out to clients on a CD-ROM... I'd like to write a script that would allow users to click a button and save an image on that CD-ROM to their hard drive. I know Flash Studio Pro can do it... however, I am working in a Mac-only office, so Flash Studio Pro won't help.
Thank you in advance for any help with this matter.

Actionscript To Save Swf To Desktop.

Our site is set up pretty strange, thus doing it the old fashioned way would require more work than I care to do. Does such an action exsist for swfs? thanks!

CS4 Save As And ActionScript Versions
I'm curious as to which versions CS4 can save an FLA as. As government contractors we are obligated to submit our FLAs as part of our final deliveries, and some customers require the version to be 8. For this and other reasons we need to be mindful when considering upgrading.
Also, will CS4 allow us to create files as either AS2 (gotta have that Tree component!) or AS3 in the same way that CS3 does?
Thanks in advance.

Inserting A Save Command In Actionscript
Hi all. I'm pretty new to Flash, though I've been using it for a few years, on and off, to do simple animation, so I apologise if this question has been asked before.
Basically I'm creating an animation where a user can colour in a drawing, by selecting the colours. I've got more advance ideas for that, but it's a while down the line. I want to give the users the ability to save the image as a GIF (for use on a message board), and if possible also save the FLA, so they can modify it later - I doubt the second option is possible.
I've gone through the ActionScript commands, and searched on Google, but I can't find any tips on how to add a button which will Export or Save the drawing, once the user has coloured it.
Is this possible?
How Do I Save ActionScript Animation As Movie
I am a Flash developer and motion graphics designer. I have created a lot of Flash movies with Actionscripted animations and I'm dying to convert them to video. Whenever I save as Quicktime MOV, I lose the animation altogether, probably because the Flash Player is required for the scripted motion. Is there ANY way to convert ActionScript animation to video short of videotaping your screen?

How To Save A Move Clip As A .jpg Or .gif File Using Actionscript

Dynamic Jpeg Creation & Save (using BitmapData) From SWF Using Actionscript - HELP
Hi everyone,
I've built a little online Flash application where I want to save a portion of the SWF file to the server as a jpeg when the user clicks a button.
I approached it by using BitmapData to record the RBG values of every pixel in my movie (600 x 400 = 240000 pixels). This means I end up with an array of 400 pretty big strings (one for each row) to send to my ASP page that creates the image (the ASP page works fine by the way).
Basically, I'm completely stuck now because it takes so long to send the data that the application is unusable and the bandwidth on my server will be through the roof.
I found an example of a different application that uses the same principle. The creation of the jpeg from his Flash interface seems absolutely instant, and the e-mail arrives very quickly:
http://demo.*****.com/flashcard/stateless/
He surely can't be sending all the data, pixel by pixel, as I am doing, as it only take a second or two for his application to process this stage, so my question is: am I missing something? Is there some really simple way of creating a jpeg from an swf file using actionscript that I don't know about, or is there a way of compressing the data so much that it is much quicker, or is there a 3rd party plugin which allows jpegs to be dynamically created and sent to an ASP/PHP page?
I am completely stuck on this so any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jim
Problem With FLVPlayer In Flash CS3 (need To Save Out As Actionscript 3.0 SWf File)
I am using Flash CS3 and am trying to publish a SWf file that makes use of the "FLVPlayback" component. I need for this SWF file to be published as an Actionscript 3.0 file, so I have set my publish settings to Flash Player 9.0 and Actionscript 3.0, but keep getting an error as follows:
"WARNING: The component 'FLVPlayback' requires ActionScript 2.0."
Has anyone encountered this?? I am doing something wrong? I'm pretty comfortable within Actionscript/Flash 2.0, but am only beginning my first steps into the relam of CS3 and AS3.
I have also attached a screenshot of the files that represent my FLVPlayback component (or so I assume). (see this link for attachments http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=140886)

[F8] Actionscript Or Stage, Which One?
I'm building a gallery. I've been working all in actionscript but it seems to be getting overwhelming and I'm maybe halfway through.
It seems to me I could save a lot of time doing some of the stuff on the stage. This way I can decorate things a little more. Make tweens easier to work with and such.
I guess I'm not really sure which way to go. Should I do everything in actionscript, or should I do mostly AS and the other stuff like graphics on the stage? Now that I'm talking about it that latter seems the way to go.
Thanks for any suggestions.

difY = cY-_root.targY;
scalX = sX-_root.xscale;
scalY = sY-_root.yscale;
//this moves the clip 1/5 of the distance every frame.
//Because the difference between the clips current location and its destination
//will get smaller each frame, so will the amount the clip travels each frame.
//This is what makes the clip appear as though it "eases into" it's final destination

Any ideas on how i can get the box to align to the center of the stage after that with actionscript??

Or if that's impossible, is there any way to vertically align the text, which would negate the need for the resize and align.

Can Actionscript Dynamically Put A SWF On The Stage In A Specific Spot?
Hey everyone. I have not found a good way around this problem.
I want to do the following
Dynamically load another swf ( which is smaller than the main stage ) into a specific area on my stage and play it only once it has downloaded. I want to pre-load this swf into the area on my stage, once it has loaded I want to run part of my main timeline to be some type of transition and then play the loaded movie. ( Idealy I want to pre-load it into a specific frame if possible )
I cannot find a way to do what I want. ( I suffer from newbiness )
Do I have to do the following, on button click run main timeline for exit transition, load movie that has its own built in pre-loader into my desired location?
However, if I run this code
_root.CreateEmptyMovieClip(empty1,10);
//some type of size, positioning code required.
_root.loadmovie("load1.swf",empty);
it totally overwrites my entire stage.
I have not found a way to move and size my empty movie clip called "empty1" once I create it
any ideas would be a great help.
