creating a simple paint application in Flash. My issue however, is being able to export the image from Flash and either uploading it to a server, or saving to desktop. I have Flash CS3, and a PHP server.I've looked around at bitmap exporters and such but I was wondering if there was anything already out there, such as source code? It's a personal project aimed primarily at kids

View 0 RepliesI'm really really stuck with this. I have a flash paint application, and I want to add a button that saves the picture that has been drawn as a jpg using a PHP script. I've done the drawing bit and the PHP bit, I just can't get the button to work. This is my code:

I am creating a MS paint like application in flash.... for this i have taken a movie clip named board.....nd i am allowing to draw different shapes in it through drawing API. But i want to create a bucket tool so that when user click in the shape drawn in movie clip (through addchild()). The color of that shape should change..
View 5 RepliesI'm putting together a little application that has a simpe paint bucket functionality. I'm having a small problem, i'm sure it's an easy fix, but frankly I'm not much of a programmer.
Essentially what I have is a set of color swatches that users can select, and then a grid of movie clips with a series of frames, each corresponding to a swatch color. Over that, I have a grid of clear buttons that check to see which swatch is selected and then tell the movieclip underneath to go to the frame that corresponds to the right color. What I want to do is just set up the function once and call it for each movie clip, rather than repeating the function for each cell in my 6x7 grid.

View 3 RepliesI want to create an paint application or sketch book in flash. But finally the design should get saved for perticular user. need to store it in database.
Can i send Movieclip to PHP? Will i able to retrive that movieclip again to show what user has saved.
I am trying to unmask an image using a movieclip when the mouse hovers the stage. (like a paint brush effect).
my_mc = image
my_mask = mask movieclip (square)
this is what I have so far
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//Main Class
public class Artist extends Sprite{
private var drawing:Boolean;
[Code] .....
I tried putting the masking property in the constructor ( image.mask = imagemask ). but that gave me an error because imagemask is defined in the draw function. If I define imagemask (privately) ontop of the constructor and add the masking properties to the constructor it doesn't work correctly.e
I have heard that there are ways that Flash can create an external XML file. Most of my searches have revealed that this can be done using PHP for server side solutions. However, I am wondering if there are other ways that this can be done on a local maching, using the XML resolver for example. There doesn't seem to be much information about this out there.
View 1 RepliesI have a AS3 script that parses the iTunes Library XML file and converts it into something better looking and usable. The script works good and the nicely formed xml is traced out in the output window. But i would like to export it to an independent XML file instead of the output window.
View 1 RepliesHow do I store data (ie username and email from a form)?I would like to store the values of variables in a simple textfile.Is this possible in flash or do you have to send the data to a database.Also what would be the best database to use to store simple information as in the example above.
View 11 RepliesI wondering if with flash would be able to load in an external jpg file and then export the pixel data into a php application to rebuild the image?My concern is when an application loads an external resource it is just that, external and not local and therefore when I come to grab the pixel data will it grab the external resource in this case the image I've placed inside a movie clip?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to export a mov at 60 fps. The trouble is I'm getting weird stuff happening in my exported movies, when I bring one into After Effects it thinks it is 62.5 fps. And the first 10 or so frames of the mov will be of the same image as if frozen.
I'm bringing the mov into After Effects because ultimately I'd like to have an image sequence, but I can't export an image sequence from Flash because it won't recognise the animations inside of my movieclips, so each frame renders out the same.Is there a way to export an image sequence from Flash and have it include the multiple timeline animations inside Movieclips?
how can i delete storage directory instances or folder while uninstalling any air application. In my application when i first time run my application, application copy some data from application directory to application storage directory. now i want to delete all data and application directory folder also while uninstalling application.
I am doing that because when i launch any update then application is accessing old data which conflict with my application new features.
I want to read xml data to a mxml application from a xml file on my filesystem. The example I found was for AIR,link2, link3. But I want to target the Flash Player runtime. If I use the the tag, I can do it; however the xml compiles into my swf. How can I retain the xml file in my release build?
View 2 RepliesCould somebody give a hand with this? I am trying to export a flash image to jpeg. I can do it but the image is cropped when I open it in photoshop. This is the original image (is is an screenshot and not exported with flash): And this is the image exported with flash (as you can see it is cropped on the right): [URL] Why is the second image cropped?
View 1 RepliesAnyway, I have an animation I made in flash, and when I go to File>Export>Export Image, it doesn't export with the text. Also, depending on the image type I'm trying to save as, it will randomly save an image of different point in the animation than that which I have the playhead on.
View 3 RepliesI would like to export a movieclip as a gif image. The movieclip contains a circle that fading from grey to transparent. So I wonder if it possible to export this movieclip as a gif to show it in for example photoshop and still have it fading from grey to transparent (not white!!).
View 1 Repliesin my Asp.net web page (C# on backend) I use a Repeater, whose items consist of a title and a Flex chart (embedded .swf file). I am trying to export the contents of the Repeater to a Word document. My problem is to convert the SWF files into images and pass it on to the Word document.
The swf object has a public function which returns a byteArray representation of itself (public function grabScreen():ByteArray), but I do not know how to call it directly from c#. I have access to the mxml files, so I can make modifications to the swf files, if needed.

I am working on an animation with two masks, which plays in Flash as expected, an exported SWF is ok, an exported Quicktime is ok, except for the dreaded ghosting which renders it useless, but when I export it as an image sequence (gif, png or jpg), one of the masks is consistently ignored, while the other one masks as expected. This already shows when I export one single frame as an image. As a result, I currently have no way to create a quicktime movie for this animation (running CS4 on OSX 10.6.5)
Any other way to arrive at a quicktime movie?
I was wondering what the best way of importing a generated swf file into illustrator is, so i can mess around with the elements, add in backgrounds etc
View 5 RepliesWe're working on a project right now where our animator is creating animations in Flash (the tool in which he's most comfortable) which we need to export for our application. He's using separate sprites (for a person, we'd use eyes, mouth, hair, feet, etc.) and transforming them appropriately. So, if his head is rocking back and forth, one frame might be normal, one might be rotated 20°, another normal, and another -20°, and so on.
What we need is to export all of the sprites used in the animation, along with the transform data for each object in each frame. Unfortunately, the animation is being done in Actionscript, which complicates things somewhat, and because we're using sprite components that we use in multiple places, we want each component of the animation exported separately. As long as we can get it into some kind of more easily parse-able format, we should be fine, but we're not familiar enough with Flash, in a technical sense, to know where to start looking. Solutions in Python would be preferred, since that's the language we're all working in.
I have created a character for animation in illustrator and saved each symbol nessesary as a movie clip.After finally coming up with a decent animation everything seemed fine and exporting as a .swf looked great. When trying to export as a .gif however I get a singal non animated image. I've been looking for a simple answer to this problem such as Radtool converting a .swf or.avi to a gif and it give me a file not found error. I've attempted turning all of my symbols into graphics and I get a single image when I try to view it in flash (ctrl + enter). I've tried saving it as a bitmap and batching in photoshop with more error. I've tried going into flashes publish setting and saving an animated gif. Every export format I choose seems to give me a single non animated image except for .swf.
View 3 RepliesI'm unable to export an animated symbol to image sequence properly because the symbol does not animate.I created the tweens in multiple layers, then cut-pasted all layers to a new symbol.I did this so I could then just do some tween motions on the symbol.The tweening is perfect, but when I export the image sequence, the images do not animate the way it does on the Flash player.All I get is an image sequence with the tweened symbol, but the symbol itself does not animate.how to get the symbol to animate when exporting the image sequence.
Alternatively, is there a way to motion-tween multiple layers simoultaneously? (Layers which are themselves tweened)Any additional info, I'll be checking regularly so I can provide as much description as possible to get this to work.
I'm developing and application where I take a bitmap image from a webcam feed and then want to use the image as my "paint" so when I drag my mouse over the stage it leaves a trail of images. Is there a way to just turn off the stage from updating and using a timer event to check mouse cordinates and then keep updating the bitmap x and y ... I want the stage to stop udpating so it doesn't redraw over the old pixel from the last location of the mouseand just redraws the current bitmap in the x y location of the mouse.
View 5 RepliesI currently require my flash animation to be exported into format that is compatible for television broadcast. HD would be ideal. I'm getting pretty choppy animations when exporting into H.246 from flash so I've decided to export it into a PNG sequence instead - which I will then import into after effects and take things from there.My flash document comprises of only scripted animations but they are not reflected when I export into a PNG sequence.
View 2 RepliesI need to export an animation from flash as a PNG sequence. I'd like the exported PNGs to be as small as possible so I'm checking off minimum image area instead of full doc size. But this had no effect it still uses the full doc size. I can export a single image and it works then. I deleted anything that could be altering the size. I even tried it with a simple scene with just a box and it still uses the doc size. I can scale down the doc, but that is very time consuming and won't allow for easy iteration so that's not an option. Is this a bug, does it just not work?
View 2 RepliesI have an AS3 application where I used the bitmapdata with its copypixels to create a cropping effect on the imported image file (JPEG etc), now I am in need for exporting the resulting cropped data to image file suhc as JPEG, TIFF or any other format.

it).
