FMX: Save User-drawn Objects And Save/load DXF/DWG?
Hey everyone. Sorry to seem like a leech, but I could really use the guidance. Usually I'm pretty good for finding the solution on my own without having to trouble people, but this time I seem to be coming up short. So thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.

I'm developing an auto-cad esque flash application (going good so far too). I have no problem storing object information in a database (xy coordinates, rotation, scale etc), but now my problem is converting that data to another format; specifically DXF or DWG. Now I know the flash environment itself can import/export DXF's, but I don't know how to load the user-made data into the environment. Is it possible to have the environment run actionscripts to build these user-made objects and then manually save that to a DXF? (or even better would be a save/load DXF from the flash player)

Essentially I'd need to know if it's possible for the flash environment to read from my database (probably from reading a PHP built XML file), execute actionscript to reconstruct any objects created, and then let me go and manually (or automatically!) export a DXF of that.

Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated =]

EDIT:

The other very viable alternative is if you guys know of an XML to/from DXF/DWG converter.

Save Image With Open / Save Dialogue
Hi

I currently have a button that when click opens a new browser window so a user can right click on an image and save it to their PC using getURL.

Is it possible to have a button open the save dialogue box of the users operating system?

So as soon as the button is click the OS save dialogue box appears.

I'm using Flash CS3 but with AS2.

Thanks

Richard

How To Save X-y Coords In One Array And Save'n'such
Hello evryone.

just fighting with those array functions in flash.

well, i have a mouserecorder "Paintthingy" which records the mouse coordinates into 2 array's, after that the arraydata will be saved over a php script into 2 textfiles.

works fine, but i have to open 2 url's for that and 2 seperate phpscripts to write x and y seperated in 2 files.

is there a way to save both x and y over 2 own identifiers in an array ? that would help alot, because i have to load that textfile after that, to put the textfiledata in the array again.

easily said it's a very simple paintprogram with save function so that after a refresh the last painting won't get lost.

check the attached file!

Save Button To Save Dynamic Mc's?
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it.

Problem in short :
Working on interactive kiosk - have button that creates dynamic copies of my parent movieclip (picture of lion) The user would click on button to create copies and using "drag" move the lion to where she saw it on the map.

Once the lion "sightings" have been visally logged on the map, and need to be able to give them a "save" button to save what you see on screen.

Because this is created dynamically by the user, I need a way for the user to save it at runtime.

How would one go about this?
p.s I need to be able to show the new saved file from a remote pc.

Any help - you are my hero

Can't Save File And Can't Save As Either
Sometimes, usually after I've been working with Flash for a while, it won't let me save my work. I get an error dialog saying the file is opened read-only, or another user has the file open. What is most disturbing is that I can't even do a "Save As"--I get the same message. What's even worse, if I quit without saving, it deletes the file on disk! This happens with XP x64 as well as XP Pro.

Any suggestions?

Save
Imagine...

A drawing tool created with the help of Flash5 and ActionScript. The user clicks a tool to draw a square. He then clicks and drags on the drawing area and creates his first square online.

Being the possessive and egomaniac freak he is, he now wants to save that square, so that whenever he visits that drawing tool, he can login and then open and gloat over his previous creations.

Can anyone help me with the "Save" part.

This is my first time on any kinda discussion board. That explains the length of my post.

I Need To Save Is It Possible?
I have a major problem. I have made an application using Flash MX for a client and I need a way to save.

This application is much like a Questionaire and i need to make it so that they can save it on to their hard drive and each time that they open it the changes that they made are still there.

This application is not on the web. It is on a CD which custumers buy then they print out the results and mail them in when they are done.

I have a quick question.

I know that you can print from a swf file, sayt you have a random art generation program and you ;ike what you see it can be printed.

My question is what if you have a swf where you can lay things out and want to come back later can you save what you have done somehow.

Can anyone clear up whether there is any way of saving from a swf by any means possible.

Cheers pixelmagik

'save As' V 'save'
ok just been reading a book on Flash MX, and in it it mentions about saving your work reguarly to ensure minimal loss of work if your pute turns off etc...

ok thats part of my standard proceedure when working anyway, what got me was it mentioned that using 'save as' frequently instead of the standard 'save' will help keep your file size smaller....

mmmm, anyone understand the working of these options, i'm asumming the book is right on the subject...

SAVE AS? How Do You Do This?
I have a button that needs to download a .AVI. It's a QuicktimeVR and therefore needs to be opened in Quicktime. I will settle if the user is only able to dowload it from the website and open it on their own. I just need the button to download the file to their computer. I read a tutorial that told to make a .PHP file. I tested it just on the computer, not online, and it didn't work. Would this only work online.

Hopefully someone can help me with this because it is the last thing keeping me from getting my site online.

Save To XML
Hello,

Do you need to use php to save text entered from an input field into an XML file?

I'd like to create a bunch of input boxes that "onRelease" of the save button saves each
input into a specific order in an XML file so I can later call the file again and the childNodes would stay consistant each time I save.

example:

fName = myXML.firstChild.childNodes[ i ].firstchild.nodeValue

this way I can continue to populate my XML file from inside a flash application.
possible without php? guidance welcome.

thanks,

sky
