please help....

Save 300 Dpi Screenshot
I want to save a screenshot of my flash application at the highest resolution as possible ( 300 dpi or more).

I tried to do it in this way:
-------------------------------------------
var bmp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(networkWidth, networkHeight);
var drawingRectangle:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, networkWidth, networkHeight);
var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
bmp.draw(networkCanvas, matrix, null, null, drawingRectangle, false);
var jpgObj: JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(100);
var imageBytes: ByteArray = jpgObj.encode (bmp);
-------------------------------------------

It works perfectly but the resolution is not enough (probably it is just 72 dpi).
The JPGEncoder I used is from the as3corelib libraries.

Do you know how to improve the resolution ? Is there any encoder that can make higher resolution pictures ?

Thankyou,
Andrea

Screenshot From Swf
has anyone an idea, how to make a screenshot of a swf with action scripting or anything else (to use as jpg, bitmap, gif) ???

Screenshot
Anyone knows using flash how to create a JPG image from a screenshot of the flash application?

Screenshot
im preparing a simple flash game and would like a button so users can take a screen shot/jpg of their progress. the screen shot can be a jpg they are sent or what i would prefer is the screen shot uploaded to my site (or both?).

Im imagining this would require php as well as action script?
im finding it difficult to search for an example or in forums becuase of the wording "screenshot" being used for a million other things.

If anyone can point me in the right direction or give me a starting point i would be most greatful.

thanks,
Chris

Screenshot Like Action Is This Possible
Hi
I have a site where users design posters online. I used a number of movieclips and levels and so on. What I need to have happen is for the user to take a screen shot of a specific bounding box area (basically collapsing all the pieces into one image) drag to a shopping cart or a personal gallery. I tried to use all the properties of the movie clips and so on but it seems that it should be easy AND automatic.

thanks

Screenshot Gallery
I am trying to make a screenshot gallery for my site and I need major help. I am a pretty big beginner, especially with animation via Flash. I used to do it in Flash 5 with while loops, but that doesn't seem to work anymore (or maybe i just forgot how to do it) But here is the situation with the screenshots.

I have a series of screenshots that are originally almost the same vertical height as my movie. These screenshots are placed in individual movie clips. Then the MC's are placed on the stage. They are then resized to be 100 Pixels high. So I have 6 100x75 MC's on the stage. I want them to get themselves as far away as possible from eachother without going off the stage. And I want it to look fluid so that when they move and change they do it in a visible way. Then when the user rolls over one, I need it to zoom back to full size and I want the other MC's to still be as far away from it as possible, but here going off of the stage doesn't matter.

So Any ideas?

Here is the FLA if you want it:

What is the keyboard shortcut for taking a screenshot of a finished Flash Movie?

Screenshot To Be Sent In Form...?
Hi guys,

This is gonna be one of those situations where I'll go "Oh, yeah, of course." once I hear the answer.

I have a fairly basic page which plays a flash animation at the top, which enables the user to select a layout to their liking, then below that is a 'continue' button which scrolls down the page to a PHP form (same page) where they enter their details, they then press submit (which then uses a process.php page to process the form) and it mails me their information.

What I also need it to do, is quite simply somehow attach a 'screenshot' of the current state of the .swf to the form which will be sent with the email, I don't know how to go about it.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks heaps.

Screenshot Fade In And Out Help
Basically, I tried making a screenshot rotation sort of thing in Flash CS3/AS 3.0. I'm not sure what is messing up -- I've tried everything! I'm thinking it's some sort of order of events thing, but I'm not entirely sure. I'm rather new to Flash, so I was hoping that someone with more knowledge may be able to help me.

It ends up basically randomly freezing when downloading the next picture in the rotation. I commented the code to show what it was doing, so I hope that is of some guidance.

This is the file I made: http://t4c.4genet.com/frontscreenshots/flash.fla

Hope someone is able to help solve my issue!

Emailing A Screenshot
I realize this is a re-post, but I am thinking I gave it the wrong title and the right people aren't looking at it.

I am working on a touchscreen coloring book. I already know how to make it where you can select a color and apply it to an area of the picture. The client just asked if I could make it so when the kid is done coloring, they can hit a button and email what they colored to an email address.

I am not really sure how to accompolish this, maybe some sort of actionscript that takes a screenshot and emails it?

I am looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Thanks,

Can You Create A Screenshot In AS3?
Basically I am loading google map tiles onto a page, and I am trying to find a way to create a screenshot out of the whole page or a portion of the page and send it to the server to save it for later use... I know it wasn't possible in AS2... But is there any AS3 class that I can use to achieve this???

Will there be any issue with the crossdomain stuff where google map does not provide that...

I need to do some searching on this subject tomorrow and I'd love to hear some keywords that I can use...

Thanks...

Saving Screenshot
Hi!
I am working on making a tool for constructing package-labels.
The idea is that you should be able to construct your own labels/cards by adding personal text and image.

Once done I would like it to save a screenshot of the label in a JPEG file by simply clicking a button.

My question is: Is this even possible, and if so how would one aproach the problem?

I would be most grateful for any suggestions and/or feedback.

Yours,
Jean

Emailing Screenshot
Hi,

I'm working on a project, where you can create your own button design. You want 1000's buttons with a piece of artwork, your choice of text, etc...

The movie is going to be made mostly of dragable movieclips for the clipart selection and placement, and a couple dynamic text boxes. My problem is, I need to some how reproduce what the user sees on the screen after he/she has finished their personal design. Basically take a screenshot of the users screen, and have that image/swf emailed to an email address. I'm having major difficulties...so if anyone can be of any help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Looking For A Tutorial - See Screenshot
Hi,

I'm looking for a actionscript tutorial that will allow me to have a number change the fill on the bar to the left of it. The red will grow the higher the number 0-99 or lessen the lower number.

I thought I saw a tutorial here with something similar. I can't getthe keyword correct to find it again.

Here is the screen of what I need to get working. The Number change the thing called the power level. higher number more red and vice versus.

Thanks,

Getting A Screenshot From Flv File
I have a ton of flv files on my server and computer and i need to grab the first frame of each file as a jpg. Anyone know.
Server software or computer software, either one would be great. But I need to do this in batch.

SWF Screenshot Program?
Ok I know you are thinking why not just take a screenshot?

well that is great if you want a screensaver but I need something a little more hi res. Specifically a nice vector image.

My flash file uses a random generator to create the graphics using vector shapes. I can't just go into my FLA file and export because it needs to be compiled to swf and the manually generated.

Does anyone know of a program that will do this?

If not, how about a program that will extract a generated frame from the original swf file to a seperate swf file.

OR (last resort) how about a program that will take a screenshot but allow you to save it at a customized size. Example.. say the movie is 400x400 but I would like it saved as 2400x2400 at 600 dpi.

thanks for any advice.

How Can I Make A Screenshot Of FLV?
Hello

I tried googling this - all I get are pages of screenshots of programs that create flv video.

I am creating a video site, and I have flv files. What I cannot figure out is how to extract a screenshot from within the video to use to identify the video.

Does anyone know how I could do this? I am developing in PHP.

thanks,

Roy

Sending A Screenshot To An Email.
I've asked here, there and everywhere, but I can't remember if I've asked here. I can't think why I wouldn't've. But I'll ask again anyway.

I have a flash animation, where, once the user has finished with the simple drag and drop task, I would like them to be able to simply press a submit button, which then takes them to an email form, where they can't fill in their email address and info, and send a screenshot of what they've made, as an attachment.

OK, OK, all you English teachers out there. I know that was the world's worst sentence, but hey, I want answers, so who cares

If anyone can help me on this one, you'd make a tired and frustrated Flasher very happy...

Hope to hear from you all soon.

Scripting A Screenshot Of A Certain Frame
I am using Flash MX and I have a project where I would like to have a button take a screenshot of just the browser window. Is this at all possible? Or is there a way that I could send the _x and _y positions of clips that are dragged onto the stage? I've been looking around for some solution, but I come up dry...hope you guys can help me

Screenshot Of Active Window

LoadMovie() Question..With Screenshot.
Hello Flash Ninja's!

Thank you for taking the time to view my question. I hope I can explain myself properly. Below is a screenshot to help.

I am developing a website and to save time I am using some tools I bought online. I would like to add these to my main.fla but the Web Photo Gallery and CoffeCup Calendar only publish .swf's and have no .fla with them.

How do I get these components into the main.fla like shown in the picture?

P.S. Could I just make tables in Dreamweaver and have the menu.swf control my other.swf in a different cell of the same table? This would solve everything but I dont think it will work.

Flash Screenshot Capabilities?
Does Flash have provisions to take a screenshot of itself and export it to a file on a server? For instance if a client creates something within a SWF and I need to be able to see the creation at a later time. Exported as a JPG or some other bitmap format.

Thanks.

Can Flash Take A Screenshot Of A Page?
Is there a way in flash to make it take a "screenshot" of the way a site looks at that moment? Basically I'm going to make a page melt away, and want the melt to be able to happen regardless of if the content of the page changes. So if I could use flash to take a screenshot of the content and then melt it, it would look seamless.

Video Screenshot Capture
I need to capture a frame (pressing a button on stage) of a streming video coming from webcam in local system, and send this image to a DB when user confirms.

How does AS do this?
Is it possible in AS2?

Thanks in advance!

Screenshot / Convert Dynamic Swf To Jpg
I've exhausted all of my possible avenues for research and I am curious if any one has stumbled upon a piece of code or program that will convert a swf to an image format. It needs to happen at the click of a button within the swf itself. I've seen code for capturing the drawing API through PHP, but nothing for capturing straight pixel for pixel, not that a particular method is important. But at the very least all elements on screen need to be captured, ie. library items, input boxes etc. The method isnt important, I just need to get screengrabs of the swf at any time.

Flash Vector Screenshot
Is there any software than can make a vectorized screenshot of a swf file. Like, say I had a recursive algorithm that made something really cool, (like on levitated.net) and I wanted to take a screenshot of the creation the algorithm made to make a printed poster out of it. I know that I could just do a screenshot of the screen while the swf is on there, but it will only be 72 dpi. Is there any way to capture a SWF screen and dump it to, say, an eps or ai file?

Taking Screenshot Automatically
I'd like to know if there is any script we can use in a flash movie that will take screenshots of the current screen of the machine being loaded on and saves them to disk.

thank you

Scripted Screenshot Of A Website.
Hi there

I'd like to make a page with links to other webpages I've made and since there's a lot of them and they are all updated very often, I would like to make a script that takes a screenshot of the webpage and then stores it as a jpeg on the webserver to be dynamically loaded. That way I dont have to keep making new screenshots of those pages and updating that link-page myself.

Is this possible in AS2 or AS3?

If not, does anyone know if there's a unix-program for this, which I can put in cron and then run it each hour or so. That would be sufficient.

Is It Possible To Do Full Screen Screenshot?
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to do a full screen screenshot (like with printscrin in windows)? I know about doing a screenshot of movieclip.

Website Screenshot With Flash
I really know very little about Flash. The most complex thing I've ever done with it was create a small advertising banner with moving text. I just want to know if something's possible with Flash -- I don't know if it's ridicilously impossible or not.

Can a Flash movie, given a URL through a FlashVars parameter, load that URL into itself? In other words, if I were to pass an 800x600 movie the URL http://www.sitepoint.com, could it display the SitePoint website within the movie? Not interactively, but simply as an image, like a website screenshot program.

Taking A Screenshot With Flash...
Is there a way to take a screenshot using Flash? I don't mean take a screenshot of Flash, I mean a routine or function within Flash that would allow you to do this? Preferably something that could be called before the actual window was rendered, to grab the screen as it is just before the swf executes?

Dev environment is MX 2004, thanks.

I Need To Make A Flash Movie Take A Screenshot...
I have a Flash movie that I'm working on where people design something. For example, they can move a mirror wherever they want in a room to see how it will look on a wall.

I want the user to be able to click a button and have it automatically take a screenshot of their screen (like hitting the "printscreen" button on their keyboard). So they can save what they did and remember how it looked.

Actually, if it's possible, I'd like it to take a screenshot of their screen, open up an email, paste the screenshot into the email, then email it to a certain address.

Is there any way I can do this with Flash MX? I have no idea where to start...

Thanks!
-Lee
