I want to save a screenshot of my flash application at the highest resolution as possible ( 300 dpi or more).[code]...
Do you know how to improve the resolution ? Is there any encoder that can make higher resolution pictures ?
On my website people enter, watch a live stream from a remote server (not my server) and when they click on a button it report it to me and what I want to add is the ability for me to take a screenshot of this stream at the very moment when they click that button and save it on the server. They question is how to implement so? Now I just have that stream in an Iframe that shows it as a .swf object Possible solutions I thought of but don't know whether will work are:
Embedding this Iframe inside a flash object that I will create. That means that on the website the users will see a flash object I created that all it does is to show the stream from an url I give it and when the user clicks on a button inside the html it will send the flash the command to save the screenshot now and then save it on my server (don't know how to implement it, so the second question is, if you think it will work, how to do so?).Second solution is to have an open browser on my server that when the user clicks the button, I send an ajax request to the server that will then order the browser to take a screenshot and save it locally on the server. (again, if you think this solution will work, tell me how to implement so).
how can i take a screenshot from flash and save it to disk using php or whatever.
View 3 RepliesI need the user of my Flex application to be able to save a snapshot of part of the UI to a local jpg file. I got the screenshot part down - can generate an image out of any given control. However, the only way I see to let the user save the image locally is to send to my server which would return it with the appropriate Content-Disposition.

View 7 RepliesI made this dress-up type game, and have been trying to figure out how to let the user save an image of their creation. I've been researching and figured out I need to use bitmapData.draw and fileReference.save in the actionscript somewhere. The only problem is I want this to be a standalone .swf if possible. The 'game' is here. This is part of my code:

View 3 RepliesIs it possible to take a screenshot in as3 of a movie clip and send it to another file via local connection? I have been trying for a couple of days so far and still I am pretty much lost. I followed the byte array.org live jpeg encoder and tried some of the code he uses but all I am getting is the bottom right corner of the mc when it is sent to the other side. What is the easiest way to do this? I'm not even that interested in actually encoding it, just sending the image to the receiver.
View 0 RepliesI'm building my first website in Flash, and it's a porfolio website. I'm trying to set up my portfolio page to show screenshots of my graphic design projects, and when a user clicks on them, it enlarges the photo.
I am looking for it to be done like this website below when you click on their photo samples, it enlarges it, where you can also go to the next photo.
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.
View 3 RepliesI'm developing some photo viewer app for some web site in flex 3. One of the demands made by my customers is preventing of their unique visual content from copying at least by standard Windows tools ("Print Screen" button). Are there any tricky techniques capable of doing this?
The first thing occurred to me is handling "Print Screen" button of keyboard doesn't seem to be as effective as my client needs.
The searches that I did on this topic aren't providing me with any answers...that I can understand anyway. =*) Here's the situation.In the past, I did computer-based-training using "a different authoring tool." One thing I discovered I could do with that tool--which really opened up new possibilities for me--was to use that scripting language to create a snapshot of the current window and save that image as an object/class. Then I could access that object, resize it, save it to disk, and load it in later. The result--for my training at least--was a visual bookmark of their location in the training should they have to save and come back later.I would now like to do this with Flash.specificially CS4 and AS3.If anyone can point me in the right location to get started,For clarity, the steps are:
1: Take a snapshot of the current Flash window / Stage. I'm not concerned if the snapshot remains "in Flash" or goes to the Clipboard as long as I can get to it in the next step.
2: Access that snapshot from where-ever it's stored.
3: Process the snapshot and reduce it to a thumbnail, etc.
4: Save it to a file that I can bring back into the .swf at a later point. I'm not real concerned about the format of the file as long as I can bring it back in later. How do I save it? I would love to be able to save it to the user's machine but last I checked
Flash won't do that sort of thing. Can I save it as a file on the server that the .swf is running from using perhaps a PHP call /script / page?
5: And, of course, recall the image to be used at a later point. I already have a pretty good handle on this from past experiments.
can i save a screenshot from a loaded swf using the SWFLoader class ?
View 1 RepliesCan pixels be read covertly from a browser window containing flash + HTML?(Is it possible for flash or the browser to detect a screenshot being taken?)What about for other methods of capturing pixels? (Like the one described here: How to read the screen pixels?)
EDIT: (background info)
A C++ application is going to read pixels from a browser window (which happens to contain Flash and some regular HTML and JavaScript). The browser window would like, if possible, to detect the fact that it's pixels have been read. The method of getting the pixels could be any (short of taking a photo of the screen itself).
I want to take a screenshot from my website of another website or preferable 1 part of it (an object tag).I want it to work this way: I click on a button that will send a request to screenshot the page at this moment. Several ideas are insert the page inside a flash object and screenshot it. Or opening a browser on the server and when I click the button send a request using AJAX to tell the server to screenshot with this browser.How should I do this because I kind of failing right now with the flash Idea. The page I am trying to screenshot is a live camera that uses a .wvx object. But I can't even do that with a .swf object

I would like to take a "screenshot" of the stage within flash and send it as an image by email. I have tried AMFPHP and the method described here - [URL]. This is saving a jpg of a movie on the server, but no email function. I know how to setup a very simple php email file but without attachment. So my problem is I have no idea how to "connect" all those parts together and make it so that when you click the button in flash it'll send the jpg by email directly.
