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

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.

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

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 Me Please Dynamic Text Hell
I'm trying to have a txt file load into my dynamic text box. I've followed all the tutorials and still can't get it to work in MX.
I've made my dynamic text box a mc and called the instance aztec. Gave it a variable name of aztec text. In the maintime line frame I've put the following actions:
Quote:
this.loadvariables("aztectext.txt")
(stop)
I've got a text file named aztectext.txt and inside of it I have:
Quote:
aztectext=Start of text file
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've saved all files in the same location. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd post the file but flashkits has a file size limit.

Help Save My Fingers...(dynamic Text)
I can't seem to find a good tutorial on pulling a series of dynamic text names from a file. Probably elementary to some, I have no clue where to start. Its pretty self explanatory if you see how I did it manually. I just need a little nudge in the right direction...preferably not down any stairs.
Page is here:
http://www.kingairinc.com/test2.html
flash (8) is here:
http://www.kingairinc.com/flash/quotes.fla
Also, I must have something wrong in the AS. I can't seem to get it to loop after I post it on the site. Locally, it loops fine.
Thanks in advance for any guidance on this,

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?

New Button Mixs With Old Ones At Save.
Hello, I have a flash template. When I create a new button it is ok, but if I save, close and re-open the project, my new button is replicated to a specific old button replacing it, somtimes it replaces another symbol that is a movie, somtimes the old button replace (copies itself) to my new button so my new fancy button gets tranformed in a simple big gray square that is what the old symbol has.
Those two old symbols are:
1) Button: a big gray square
2) Movie: an instance of (1)
I would like some help. I know it is quite strange and difficult to explain, if you need please ask me for more clarification.

Save Button Notification
I'm creating a RIA, and one of the buttons in my main movie is a "Save" button. After the user saves their work, the button is disabled. I want to be able to change the "Save" button back to enabled if the user changes anything in any of the components in any of the loaded mcs. Is there a way to do that without making a listener for each component to send a message to the "Save" button??

Save Target As...button?
Hello, I have an image gallery, which loads images using 'loadMovie' . My question is, I want visitors be able to save the images by clicking on an icon that brings out the save dialogue box (the box that popups when you right click in IE and click on Save Image As...), I can tell the button to open the image up another window, which will open the image in another window and the user will have to right click on it and save target as (which is kinda innconvenient), is there an actionscript that can tell the button to go directly to Save Target As or Save Image As option? Any help/suggestion will greatly be appreciated

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

Open A Save File Dialog Box From A Button?
Hello,
I want to allow users to download files linked to via buttons in my flash movie.
Currently I'm using getURL to open the file up and relying on the user's browser to display the file and allow them to save it.
What I'd like to do is have a button that brings up a standard dialog box for saving the file (like what you'd get with a right click "save as" in windows).
Is this possible with flash? I'm still using FlashMX if it makes a difference.
All of my searches on this topic have been fairly futile and ridden with results about how to download tutorial files or whatever, heh.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Save Vector File Format From Dynamic Flash Page

Radio/check Button And Shared Object Save
Hello
I've got a monster offline exe application with multiple menu items.
Challenge: Custom Personal Quick Menu
Create a menu page where users can 'check' off the menu links that they most frequently use. These checked links will be 'remembered' via a cookie or shared object and dynamically be called and displayed in a "quick menu". Does that make sense?
If anyone has any suggestions that'd be great. I'm at an absolute loss on where to start and if it's even possible. My actionscripting skill is somewhere down the road from a beginner, but not far
