Exporting An Image At Runtime To A File


Anyone know of a way to export a region of the stage to an external file i.e jpg, like a screen capture. Or is there a component out there that will do it?

Thanks

I want to export an image or movie file from a flash movie to a jpeg or swf file. I found one solution to do this in http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/fl.../print_screen/ its work, but for large images, it is verry slow and I think it has to exist anoher way to do a basic image export.

Exporting During Runtime
hi

ive been lookin at the very cool movie at http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Game..._-614/index.php

it enables you to build you own movie from various movie clips and arrange them in a timeline and then preview it.

i was wondering if it was possible to export the preview movie, or a certain movieclip in the movie during runtime. or would flash need its own built in renderer? i have no idea as ive never seen it done before.

hope someone can help
thanks

Exporting Swf At Runtime
Hi all

Been trawling the web for a while now looking into the bitmapdata() class and ways in which to export images from a flash movie at runtime.

Whilst Mario Klingemann's bitmap exporter is great and a good solution, For the project i am hoping to undertake it would be AMAZING if i could export out any movieclip within my app as a seperate swf.

This would allow users to dynamically create interactive image based assets, which can be saved to a server and reloaded next time they log in.

I have a feeling that im living in a dreamworld and this is not at all possible, but if anyone has any thoughts or experience on this i would really appreciate it.

Basically can you export a swf at runtime from a chosen movieclip instance?

Exporting At Runtime...
ok, i've got a bit of a puzzler: is it possible to export out of Flash at runtime?

that's to say, someone is on your site, they're in your snazzy Flash movie and they create something. they like it, and they'd like to save it out.

can that be done?

much of the data [well, all of it actually] will be held in a MySQL database, so in theory, i could get around Flash and do it some other way; say via PHP, but it's the layout that's the important thing, that's why it would be better to get it out of Flash itself.

any thoughts would be cool...

Exporting A Bitmap At Runtime?
I'm wondering if it is possible to export a "screenshot" of the stage to an image file that the user can download. for instance, they draw a picture, click a download button, and get a prompt to download the image they've drawn as a jpeg or what have you. I've found some sparse info about using PHP to send a bitmapdata object to the server (I think), but I need a little more help. I'm working with AS3 and CS3.

Thanks!

Mixing Sounds And Exporting To MP3/WAV In Runtime
Hello - this my first post here.

I'm creating a simple "groovebox" flash app, that lets the user create their own songs by mixing (simultaneously playing) a number of looped sounds as various "patterns", and then arrange and repeat these patterns to make a final song
I also want to let the user save this as as an mp3.

Is there a way (during runtime) to mix several, simultaneously playing sound objects into one and export/save that as an mp3 or wav etc ?

I don't really want to us Direct Sound as:
1) i don't know how, and
2) Mac users won't be able to use it.
But if it's my only choice then where do i find out about using it in flash?

Any guidance much apperciated, Thanks,
Peter (BuddhaBoy)

Exporting PNG In Runtime Creates Green Artifacts
Hello,

I have a game project where you create a custom car and then you can have the image emailed to your email address. The image that is being exported has green artifacts in it.

The project is a multiple choice quiz with 6 questions. If you get a question right, you get to choose a car body (BMW, VW, Muscle Car). Second question gives you color choice. Third question gives you decal choice, etc.

So all of the artwork is located in separate layers and the script reveals the correct layer based on the choice made.

The artwork in the game is comprised of PNG files with alpha to be able to composite on the fly.

The artifacts that appear are green and red and appear within the image and not on the edges, so I don't think it has anything to do with the alpha channels of the PNG.

Here is a link to an outputted image:
http://www.swproductions.com/clients/car/car.png.zip

If anyone has any ideas or advice, I greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Capture Frame To An Image (AT RUNTIME)
Hi,

I think I have a challenging question (hoping I'm wrong).

Is it possible in any way to capture a flash movie frame as an image at runtime? Be it file or data structure. (without using external tools).

I want to create a flash based editor which in the end the user will be able to save his creation to a file on his hard drive. Saving the file can be done using PHP and JavaScript, but somehow exporting the frame out of flash... Now that's something I couldn't figure out.

Looking around for an answer didn't work out very well... So I turn to the experts.

Thanks.

Runtime Image Manipulation Using Flash
I would like to know if it's feasible to load an image (jpg, gif, bmp and such) into Flash and then let the user modify it in order to stretch, crop, adjusting contrast/brightness, removing "red-eyes". I'm not aware of any image manipulation libraries in Flash, which is why I'm asking this.

Help: Runtime Image Import In Flash CS3?
I'm creating an "online logo-maker" application.
I want to:
(a) have a "library" of bitmap & vector objects a user can drag onto the "work area";
(b) have user-specific libraries. I'm planning on using PhP or ASP for the user to be able to upload bitmap & vector images to the server (they will be converted on the fly to WMF and put in a folder Flash can get to). I want the Flash (cs3) application to be able to reference that folder of images so the user can also drag those onto his "work area".
(c) Also, want admins to have capability to add to the main library.
Is any/all of this a runtime possibility? I don't even know where to get started so if you have ideas, please share!
Thanks!

Image Upload And Runtime Swf Creation
OK, is this possible?

I want to create an online swf that allows a user to create flow diagrams, annotate them, upload images and incorporate them into these diagrams.

When they've built this I want them to be able to save it so that another person can view it online and edit it further/move things around.

Can this be done and if so what tools would I need to handle the upload of images?

Would it be possible to generate a swf at runtime and possibly email that to someone as an alternative?

many thanks for any feedback

[F8] Runtime Image Importing -- Quality Issues
ive recently been experincing quality issues while importing images at runtime.
im writing an invoicing program in which you type in a persons contact details and the products which they are buying. It then puts this info into a database, and creates an invoice image on the server (using php image editing functions), again using the inputted details.
my issue arises when i try to import this image back into flash, it becomes pixalated and unreadible.
i have searched the forums and discovered plenty of posts about pixalated images, however they all seem to only have solutions for images imported into the library before runtime. (for example i have tried to turn jpeg quality up in the publish settings, to no avail. ive also tried many formats)

the images are fine when i look at them directly on the server in any format i try putting them in, its just when flash retrieves them that i get issues.

to import the image i use the following basic code:


Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("invoice", this.getNextHighestDepth());
invoice.loadMovie(image_url,invoice.getNextHighestDepth());
//image_url is the image URL returned from the php script.
any ideas?

cheers
Ben

Email A Movie Clip As An Image At Runtime
Hi

I have a lot of source for converting a Movie Clip to an image at runtime.

Is there a tutorial or source for sending the converted Movie Clip as an attachment, or simply a link to the image on a server, at runtime?

My thinking here is that a user will draw/create a custom image and then press a button to send it to a specified email address.

Need Flash Preloader For Runtime Image Downloads
Hi All,

I need some help on Flash Preloader for runtime image download.

Actullay I am working on a interactive Flash Image Gallery with PHP. A Admin panel is controlling the images e.g. add, delete and modify. Admin can set the priority of images and other type functionalities, but Front-end will be Flash. So I am using the Flash preloader for runtime images. image resource is php file, which is providing the images through the variables and array. I am using [loadVariablesNum("src.php", 0)] on _root.
locally it is runing perfect but when I upload the flash file on server, it's preloader shows the preloading but image downloading is not working. It means preloader is working only for flash file not for runtime images. how can I setup these functionalities, please help me, waiting for right directions. It is very important for me. PLEASE HELP ME, HELP ME!!!.

HELP ME!!!

Swf Exporting As Image
I'm working with a drawing application where the user will need to be able to both print and save drawing. I've got the kinks figured out with the printing... but the exporting is throwing me for a bit of a loop! I figure since you can print a movieclip as a bitmap, you should be able to save a movieclip as a bitmap, too. I know that Flash can publish in different formats..

Any ideas? Can a .swf export part of itself in an image format?

I have a number of images that i have drawn completely in Flash and i now need them in a different piece of work (not in flash). So i tried exporting them (file->export->image) but i cant seem to exportt hem successfully in vector form.

I used .EPS but then freehand just displays a box with a x through it and word shows them in poor quality.

I used .ai but they are dramatically altered when viewed in freehand (colours changed, gradients lost).

And .wmf and .emf also alter the image making parts transparent.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how i can sucessfully extract an image in vector form?

Exporting Scene To Image
Hi all,

Do you think it is possible to export a scene to an image in run mode?

I want to create a customizable (drag-and-drop) e-card, that people can than save as an image and/or send. I know you can export your scene to a bitmap in editing mode, however, I'm quite sure Flash is not capable of doing this in run mode.

Although, you can rasterize the scene to send to a printer...

Of course, I can always track all action (mc's coordinates & scaling) in an array, and rebuild the whole scene when it is viewed by the adressee, but this is much more work.

Anyone tackled this one before?

ps: check out my new game on http://www.yazoo.co.uk/paintball

[F8] Problem Exporting Image
When exporting my screen to an image, I get a partial image. The content is centered on the stage. The first try everything was there except for 10% of the right edge. When I tried again (and every time since...), I am seeing only the lower right quadrant justified to the upper left. I've tried exporting as .swf, .jpg, .png, .bmp, and .gif all with the same result.

My content is the same dimension as the stage 1024 x 768.
My content is an Illustrator drawing.

I have my content active or not active
I've used "Full Document Size" and "Minimum Image Area".
I've tried different resolutions and pixel counts.
I've saved off and restarted flash, still no joy.

When published as a flash movie it renders perfectly.

Does anyone have an idea?
