ActionScript 2.0 :: Saving A MovieClip To A JPG?
Jul 11, 2007
Does anyone know how I can take a MovieClip in Flash and save it to a form as a JPG. I know you can print a MovieClip so I imagine you can save one to a server. I'll try and do my best on explaining what I currently have and what I am trying to do:
I currently have a Flash piece that is a type of configuration tool for a product. Lets say its a Hat Configuration tool. A customer that comes to purchase a hat can change the color, size, stitching, text, fonts, images, etc... and when the are finished the can print their hat, which has all the information and the final picture of the hat as the configured it, or they can send the product via e-mail. Currently the send via e-mail just sends the information as a text file via an ASP process page. What I need to do is send the movieclip as an Image (JPG) to the server.

i have seen almost all relevant threads on almost whole internet. and i m still confused..i m working on a drawing app ( flex / air ), 1- where user loads image file,(bitmapdata > bitmap > movieclip base layer)2- add layer ( new sprite > movieclip "second object in display list")3- draw on this sprite ( graphics.draw circle / etc, lot of other details etc)4- usr can add more layers etc, name layers etc ... all sprites are of same size as bitmapQ1. now i wanted to save this main movieClip (part of UIComponent ) as swf file. so user can read again and continue work. almost like i do with photoshop.
comment: i know it sounds too generic, to ask such detailed thing. so please be patient..i have been fiddling around with byteArray. and Air File Object,flash.net.fileReference etc..Q2. (main question), i don't want to convert drawn sprites to bitmapdata and then do bytearray. ( in my mind) it will convert everything to pixels, which i don't want.Q3. is there some auto magical line which will do everything..(save drawn vectors / shapes) in sprites as is?? (less chances). if i can read swf as movieClip, i can check sprites for layers and everything else... problem is writing this to disk as swf file.

I am developing iOS app in Adobe AIR and Adobe Flash CS5.5... It's basically a huge timeline of movie clips with entrance screen. What I want to do is somehow create an external AS or TXT file, in which I got few movie clips defined as visible/hidden. I want the movie itself to change those states of the movie clips in the external file when it reaches certain frames in the main timeline, so that the next time you open the app and its entrance screen, there are buttons (movie clips) made visible there which can link/bring you to the previously reached frame.

I am using a movieclip "table" that is attached on the enter frame event at the main scene. I am trying to save variable "money" and I use this code inside the movieclip, when I test the movie it shows me money1 as undefined and I cant find why! I have used _root. and doesn't work.
PHP Code:
var svar = sharedobject.getLocal("MY VAR");
svar.data.moneynew = money;
svar.flush();
money1=svar.data.moneynew;

I am creating an application in Flash CS4 that will load data from an XML file and add a movieClip for each item to the stage. Each movie clip contains a NumericStepper component and Input text field.
The user needs to be able to change the fields and update the XML file for the event.CHANGE event.
The XML file needs to be formed like this. I need to be able to navigate between sections and load the data for each one.
<sections>
<section>
<data>
[Code].....
I just need a push in the right direction. I using the Object Oriented Programming methods with a Document class and movieClip classes to control my application. I have been spinning my tires creating several crippled versions.

What's the best and most efficient way to save a var to php with as3? I want to create a counter, so I know how many times a flash movie has been viewed or a button clicked on, how could I do that? and would it be a good idea to save the results in a mysql table rather then just a .txt file?

After reading previous forums I've realised there is a corrupt picture that was imported into the file. I've deleted this in the library as people have suggested but still no luck saving the file. It just saves as 1K file.

its a simple app in which images are flashed on the screen for a short period of time (starting at 2 seconds) the user has to play for 3 minutes 70% of the images must be clicked / tapped and 30% must be ignored, at the end it displays how many "fails" and how many "halftimes" you got (fails being how many times you clicked an image you WASNT meant to or didnt click an image you WAS meant to and halftimes being how many images you was meant to click that you clicked in half the allotted time i.e at first, if you clicked within 1 second that would count as a halftime click) anyway, all of this works fine, the problem i have is that: i wish to read a value from an XML file (at first the value being 2000 so i can use it as a variable for when i initiate my image timer) which i have achieved, at the END of the game, if the number of fails is 1 or less, i would like to decrease that value by 50 (0.05 seconds) and if the fails is 2 or more i would like to increase the value by 100 (0.1 seconds) and i dont have a clue how i can modify the XML file to change this value, as i said im a junior programmer and dont have much knowledge of AS3 with XML

I have 60 images in a library within a .fla file that I want to save to my PC. (I lost the originals). Flash won't let me drag-and-drop them or anything remotely sensible like that.Suggestions posted around t'Internet talk about putting each one on the stage and going through "file-export". Besides from being very tedious, this might not be so great - the images constitute an animation and need to be precisely aligned.Incidentally, the library does have a movieclip of 60 frames - each containing a single image.If all else fails, is there some tool which will extract these images out of the compiled swf?

I have made a cartoon section that needs to go into a video movie, it uses a lot of movie clips etc. It needs to be very high resolution- 1920x1080 When I just export it as an avi, none of the movie clips animate- they just slide around on the first frame of their animations.
When I export is as a .mov the file size is huge and I am not even offered the ability to compress it. It is like 8 gigs. When it was finally done the movie played in slow motion- the clip was about twice as long as it should have been.When I saved the file as an swf, and then tried to convert it to an avi using a converter, all the movie clips moved in doubletime, while the animations in the timeline were fine. How can I get my flash file to play in a standard video format.

I have created an xml driven application with which the client is very happy. They currently use notepad/dw to create the xml files.They now want a "form" of some description to create the xml file to avoid writing tags and so on.I have had a good look around. There is some info about creating the xml itself in as3 (looks pretty easy), but very little about how to save that file to the clients server. I gather that the flash doesn't do this for security reasons?would i be better using php to create the form for my user rather than flash as3. Or is it better to create in as3 and then append a little php to upload the doc? Or am I going abouit this the wrong way!

I've recently upgraded to Flash CS4. However, the project I'm currently working on was started in CS3 and I need to keep it as a CS3 as I transfer the .fla file between two computers because one only has Flash CS3. Is there way of setting it so when I click 'Save' or Ctrl+S it saves it automatically as a CS3 fla, rather than automatically converting it from a CS3 to CS4 file? I'm serial Ctrl+S hitter so this is getting really annoying now having to go to File>Save As everytime!

I've inherited a flash project @ work and I need to save a keyframe as it's own .swf file, but I don't recall how to get Flash to do just that.
The flash .fla file seems to hold multiple keyframes that need to be saved as their own .swf files, which are referred to in the Actionscript by name.
I've figured out the editing, but this business of keyframes i've forgotten how to manipulate.

I am trying to make a flash application that can save (to the user's local hard drive) a screen shot of the canvas (or more accurately part of it).I've dabbled with Quasimondo's Bitmap Exporter which did some funky stuff to render an image, ship it to a php script on the server, and bounce it back to the client. But not only is that inefficient it also has two other major flaws:
1) it's written in actionscript 2 so I can't use any actionscript 3 abilities.
2) it breaks as soon as one of the images on the stage is defined as a variable brought in through $_GET rather than hard coded. (the image comes in fine but then the rendered finished product is a blank white image)

I want to compile an FLA that I want to use as resources for two slightly different application in two different folders.
something like this
library.FLA
-> bin1/lib.swf
AND
-> bin2/lib.swf
I could just copy them manually, but with multiple files there's always room to forget one file.

I've been all over the interwebs, including Stack Overflow, for hours, trying to identify a solid, workable example of saving information in Flash into an XML file.
I want to take the positions of two different types of objects and export the lists of each to XML. We'll call the objects ball and bat.

I have an as3 app which utilises an sqlite db to save metrics data. It is well known that as3 is single threaded, so when I save to this db, the Stage Video I am playing becomes jumpy! I have heard that saving db data in batches can speed up this process so I save in a loop:
for (var i:int=0; i < metricsObject.metricsComponentData.length; i++){
switch (metricsObject.metricsComponentData[i].mouseType) {
case MetricsCollator.MOUSE_OVER:
this._query_txt = "INSERT INTO " + this._tablePath[0] + " VALUES (null, " + this._sessionID +
[code]...
I have looked into pseudo threading examples but they all require a sprite or stage instance, the class I am executing this code in, is not a display class, I don't really want to pass an instance of the stage into this class.

Is there a way in which the user could open a SWF file that loads an image contained in the same directory as the SWF file AND then somehow save the SWF or another SWF with this image loaded WITHOUT needing the external file?Basically i need the user to be able to insert there own image without actually using Flash to manually do it, then somehow they would have a duplicated SWF which had this image saved into its library (without the need for the image file to be present in the same directory as the SWF).
