Save A Jpeg From Flash 8, Help With Source Code
This could potentially be useful to a lot of people out there.

I have been deconstructing the save bitmap script from, http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/snapshot/. Trying to turn it into a really simple application a lot of people could use.

Here is where I am at, (FLASH 8 player required).
(I had to take this link down, in fear of blowing out my bandwidth on my site, source code is below...)

It is simply duplicating a movie clip as bitmap data and then passing it to a php script that then turns it into a jpeg. Pretty cool and potentially useful.

The problem, as you probably have seen is that the color shifts a lot on conversion. I am guessing the problem is in the php script...

I am not a php guru, any of you?

THE PHP CODE:

PHP Code:



<?php    //If GD library is not installed, say sorry    if(!function_exists("imagecreate")) die("Sorry, you need GD library to run this example");    //Capture Post data    $data = explode(",", $_POST['img']);    $width = $_POST['width'];    $height = $_POST['height'];    //Allocate image    $image=(function_exists("imagecreatetruecolor"))?imagecreatetruecolor( $width ,$height ):imagecreate( $width ,$height );    $background = imagecolorallocate( $image ,0 , 0 , 0 );    //Copy pixels    $i = 0;    for($x=0; $x<=$width; $x++){        for($y=0; $y<=$height; $y++){            $r = 255-hexdec("0X".substr( $data[$i] , 0 , 2 ));             $g = 255-hexdec("0x".substr( $data[$i] , 2 , 2 ));             $b = 255-hexdec("0x".substr( $data[$i++] , 4 , 2 ));            $color =  ($r << 16) | ($g << 8) | $b;             imagesetpixel ( $image , $x , $y , $color );        }    }    //Output image and clean    header( "Content-type: image/jpeg" );    ImageJPEG( $image );    imagedestroy( $image );    ?>




THE FLASH CODE:

ActionScript Code:
/**
Screenshot and jpg output
**/
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Matrix;

//Buttons handlers. Should add an extra function because delegate doesn't allow to pass parameters
shaF.onPress = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,makeShadow);

//Helper functions to pass parameters
function makeShadow() { capture(0) }

/*
create a function that takes a snapshot of the Video object whenever it is called
and shows in different clips
*/
function capture(nr){
    this["snapshot"+nr] = new BitmapData(output_vid._width,output_vid._height); 

    //the bitmap object with no transformations applied
    this["snapshot"+nr].draw(output_vid,new Matrix());
    var t:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("bitmap_mc"+nr,nr);
   
    //positions clip in correct place
    //t._x = 350; t._y = 10+(nr*130); t._xscale = t._yscale = 50
   
    //display the specified bitmap object inside the movie clip
    t.attachBitmap(this["snapshot"+nr],1);
output(nr);
    //attachMovie("print_but", "bot"+nr, 100+nr, {_x:t._x+t._width+50, _y:t._y+t._height/2})   
}
//Create a new bitmapdata, resize it 50 %, pass image data to a server script
// using a LoadVars object (large packet)
function output(nr){
        //Here we will copy pixels data
        var pixels:Array = new Array()
        //Create a new BitmapData
        var snap = new BitmapData(this["snapshot"+nr].width, this["snapshot"+nr].height);   
        //Matrix to scale the new image
        myMatrix = new Matrix();
        myMatrix.scale(1, 1)
       
        //Copy image
        snap.draw(this["snapshot"+nr],  myMatrix);

        var w:Number = snap.width, tmp
        var h:Number = snap.height
        //Build pixels array
        for(var a=0; a<=w; a++){
            for(var b=0; b<=h; b++){
                tmp = snap.getPixel32(a, b).toString(16)
                pixels.push(tmp.substr(1))
            }
        }
        //Create the LoadVars object and pass data to PHP script
        var output:LoadVars = new LoadVars()
        output.img = pixels.toString()
        output.height = h
        output.width = w
        //The page (and this movie itself) should be in a server to work
        output.send("show.php", "output", "POST")            
}
stop()

A Simple Save JPEG?
I'm trying to use the bitmapData class to get the data of a movie clip. Send it to php, have php return the link, so I can reload it later for other purposes. I'm using AS2, but I can use AS3 and load the swf on a different level to do the work. I'm using the Flash 9 player for the browser so either AS2 or AS3 will work.

I've browsed for two weeks and I can't find this anywhere. Everyone wants you to save the array of pixels to a database? Why? Why not just make a jpeg and send the link back to flash. I know php can make jpegs.

Anyone know how to pull this off by creating a "screen shot" and saving the jpeg?

Thanks

Save Snapshot To Jpeg
Hi,

I have an swf that allows a user to upload a photo, which is then used as the background for the swf, and then then can drop items onto this, and resize, rotate, delete them....

I have been searching the forums and google for a way for the user to save what they have done, and have this design emailed to us.

A lot of the posts I have found are old (2003), and I have even tried looking for swfdraw2jpg at www.f-mod.com (which ain't there anymore.. )

I am using Flash 8 Pro, so I am sure there has to be a way to accoumplish this (without having users with slow PC's/connections going off and making a coffee while waiting for it to finish).

Can anyone help?

Save MovieClip As A JPEG
I'm trying to create a signature pad and I've got the write and sign bit down. But I'd like to save the signature as an image.

I saw this: http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/f...creen/index.php
but it doesn't work when I try to test the example.

Save Swf As A Jpeg Wallpaper At Runtime Using PHP/ASP...?
Hi guys

I'm just trying to figure this out.

Can I in any posible way save a "screenshot" of my swf during runtime on a website. I know it's not posible within Flash itself (at least not until AS3 ), but perhaps with a little help from a serverside friend like PHP/ASP?

This will be handy if u want to be able to save wallpapers from the swf!

I'm digging into this subject, so any respond is highly appreciated - tuts, links anything.

Thnx guys

Quick Question About Using BitmapData And PHP To Save As Jpeg
Greetings Everyone,

Just a bit lost as to what I found on the internet about the Bitmapdata class. You see, Im trying to create a flash game where at the end, the user should be able to click on save as Jpeg.

The only problem that I have is merging movieclips that are positioned in 1 area, and turning it into one complete image file at the end.

So far right now its only aimed at one movieclip, so thats the only thing that saves as a jpeg

a Working example is here currently: http://keyeske.com/test/index.html

Just would like to see if I can turn both images into one single file.

Any suggestions?

Now I was looking into bitmapdata merge, then use that as the variable to send to php, but im not really sure how that will go.

Thanks in advance!

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

Can I Take The First Frame Of The FLV File And Save As A JPEG File ?
Dear,

Is it possible to take a snapshot photo with a webcam, and save it to JPEG file on server ?

I have successfully taken a snapshot picture using Flash and Flash Comm Server, But it is stored on the FCS server as a FLV file. Is it possible to convert the first frame of FLV file to a picture file (like a JPEG) and shared this picture with others ?

Any Idea ?

JPEG Loading... How Do I Wait Until The Jpeg Has Loaded
Hi everyone!

this is the code that I currently use. I want to be able to wiat until the jpeg is loaded before going trought the loop again.....
any ideas? I have tried to use the getBytesLoaded and getBytesTotal but they always show up as 0. Very annoying.


Code:
var currentX = 0
for (k=0;k<galleryVar.items;k++){
_root.thumbslider.createEmptyMovieClip("thumb" + k,(50 + k));
eval("_root.thumbslider.thumb" + k)._x=currentX;
loadMovie(_root.categoryList+"/thumbnails/"+_root.imageArray[k]+".jpg",eval("_root.thumbslider.thumb" + k));
currentX = currentX + eval("_root.thumbslider.thumb" + k)._width;
trace("Pic" + k + " " + currentX);
}
the "currentX" (2nd line from the bottom) doesn't get a value because the jpeg doesn't get loaded quickly enough. How can I wait for the jpeg to load before going through the loop again.
I don't want to use frames becasue I am creating everything dynamically!
Am i making sense?

Hope someone can help me!

Thanks

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.

What Is Up With Jpeg.s In Flash 5?
How do I appropriately import a jpg without a white outline? I know that Flash seems to prefer jpgs (they look much better than imported gifs and pngs), but how do I get them to stand seperately, without the white box?

The "Break Apart" (cmnd + B) command used with the wand tool really does not do a great job taking off the white. I'd really have to sit down for quite awhile with the lasso tool to get a perfect edge, around image... What else can I do? This seems like it should be such an easy & common sense kind of thing!

Help!

Flash And Jpeg
I'm having a problem importing certain jpegs into flash. I'm uploading the pics from an html form, which gets a php file and sends the pic to the appropriate location and creates a thumbnail of the pic. The thumbnail works fine, however, the php i'm using contains if(uploadedpic_type !="image/pjpeg"){ echo "please choose a jpeg image";} This is also working. HOWEVER, nearly every picture i try to upload (and yes i've checked their file extension to make sure they are jpeg or jpg) comes up saying "please choose a jpeg image". I could take out the file check to upload the image anyways, but then when i try to import those images into flash, they won't load. Its really confusing to me. I also have a question about changing the name of the jpg, to see if that might work. Is there a way to have the php change the name (ex. me and friend.jpg) to (meandfriend.jpg) eliminating the spaces? I've noticed that pics that don't have spaces in the name do load, however, this is not always the case. Its a very confusing problem for me. I hope i didn't make it more confusing than it should be! Sorry if its cluttered!!
Thanks in advance!

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

Loading A Jpeg Into A Swf With Flash 6
I'm loading a jpeg into a movie clip in a swf with flash 6 with the loadMovie function, and it works perfectly
But I wanted to restrict the size of the file that comes in...
say something like...
if the picture's width is greater than 500, shrink the image proportionately to make the width 500
if the picture's height is greater than 400, shrink the image proportionately to make the height 400
but I'm not sure how to change the size of the jpeg as it's loaded in. I tried defining the size of the movie clip that it's loaded into, but it doesn't effect the image. Anyone know if this is possible, or does the jpeg pretty much have to be the size I want it before I load it in?

JPEG. Quality In FLASH.

Flash 6.0 External JPEG Tip
Hi,

I've just this minute, found a resolution to
the 'streteched pixel' effect sometimes
noticable on jpg images when they're loaded
into placeholders.

Sometimes, you get this:


Top pixel row is duplicated, creating
a stretched pixel effect.



Even if you try changing the placeholder's
X or Y position to 240.0 co-ordinate for
example, there is no change . . .

. . . but on close inspection, this is only
true when co-ordinates are changed when the
stage is at 100%.

If you zoom in to the stage to about 800%,
you will find that the 240.0 co-ordinates
that you've entered at 100%, have actually
changed to something like 240.1 or 240.4
which causes the off-pixel effect.

With the stage at 800%, simply change the
co-ordinate back to 240.0 and then try
viewing the result.

It should now look like this:


Pixels are all correct.



Note: I've only tried this in Flash 6.0


Oops - Just noticed that I posted this thread
from a Boadroom thread I was reading.

Would someone be so kind as to move it some
place more appropriate. Thanks.

Webcam-> Flash-> PHP-> Jpeg
I was wondering if it wouldbe possible to let flash take pictures with a webcam (eg when a user clicks a button), then send this pictures to the $_POST array in php and, then display a jpeg of it... for example to make a collection of pictures of visitors on your site.
And all this without Communication Server. I know that you can access the webcam with flash, but can you send its data through php to the server?

[MX] Upload A Jpeg With Flash And Php?
I am new to action script and new to php. Looking at some previous threads, I was able to create an email form in flash with php that included basic stuff like name, email address and a message.

Is it possible to set it up so that the user could also attach a jpeg through the form? Any help is much appreciated.

Here is the action script I have so far on my submit button:


Code:
on (release)
{
var sMessage = "Fullname:" + tFullname.text + "Email: " + tEmail.text + "Subject: " + tSubject.text + "Message: " + tMessage.text;
lvSend = new LoadVars();
lvReply = new LoadVars();
lvSend.msg = sMessage;
lvSend.address = "evilredcardinal@yahoo.com";
tFullname.text = "";
tEmail.text = "";
tSubject.text = "";
tMessage.text = "";
lvReply.onLoad()
{
tName.text = "";
}
lvSend.sendAndLoad('mail.php', lvReply, 'POST');


getURL("http://www.texasclay.org","_self");

}


And here is my php code:

Code:
<?php
$message = $_POST["msg"];
$address = $_POST["address"];
mail($address,"E-mail Form Message",$message);
?>


Thanks!
