ActionScript 3.0 :: Saving Map Image To User's PC?
Jul 17, 2010
I am working on a web-tool that allows users to add pre-loaded tiles of data as overlays to Google Maps. I then want users to be able to save their work. I'm approaching this as them saving a series of images that they can then import to work and add text etc to a layout they choose. If you want to see it in action, it's available here: [URL]
My issue is saving the map image.
I started by trying to use BitmapData.draw() and the JPGEncoder class in the as3corelib and this works for the 2 legend images. It also works for the map when testing on my PC (and changing the Global Security Settings). As soon as you put it on the server it hangs at the BitmapData.draw() line, and I've since found out that this isn't resolvable:
code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#bitmapdata
I went back to trying to use map.getPrintableBitmap (code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/flash/reference.html#Map.getPrintableBitmap; which I'd previously discarded due to poor resolution). I can still pass this through JPGEncoder and am now happy with the result. However, the code only runs when no overlays have been added to the map.
My "save code" goes as follows:
Code:
import JPGEncoder;
Security.loadPolicyFile("195.62.199.219/pctsla/gis/supporttool/crossdomain.xml"); //see note below
[Code].....
Note: PHP cannot be installed on the server I am working with for various reasons so I need to pursue other routes.

I'm sorry this is a question from a server ignoramus, I've previously captured user input using a combination of cfml and text files. That was way back in 2002 and using AS 1.0. I'm now working in an environment where the server guy won't put any scripts on, and I mean none, no PHP, no ASP, no CFML, nothing. Would anyone know if there is a way of capturing user input without using a script, please? This prolly shows a really basic lack of understanding of how servers work but I'm a bit desperate. I know the Flash Learning Interactions can work with SCORM and pop results into LMSs that use SCORM and our LMS does use SCORM, but it seems to only be within the learning interactions and I don't know where to start to tailor this for the input I need to capture.

A project of mine involves a flash movie (.swf) in a webpage, where the user has to pick from a number of items, and has the option to thumbs up or thumbs down (vote on) each item.So far I have gotten this to work during each run of the application, as it is currently loading the data from an XML file - and the data is still static at the moment.I need to persist these votes on the server using a database (mySQL), such that when the page is reloaded, the votes aren't forgotten.Has anyone done this sort of thing before?The two mains methods that I have found on the 'net areeither direct communication between AS3 and the SQL using some sort of framework, orpassing the SQL query to a PHP file, which then executes the SQL query and returns the SQL to AS3.
Which of these methods is the better option?For the latter method (involving PHP), I have been able to find resources on how to acheive this when attempting to retrieve information from the database (i.e. a read operation), but not when attempting to send information to the database (i.e. a write operation, which is needed when the users vote). How is this done?Edit: Implemented solutionSomewhere in the PHP file:
if ($action == "vote")
{
$id = $_POST['id'];

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)

step1- I got an xml that is locally loaded(works fine)
step2- the content goes into a datagrid that is displayed (works fine)
step3- In AS3 I dynamically add some lines to this xml file(works fine)
step4- I save it locally (works fine)
step5-and want the datagrid to be updated..(works not-so-well)
So, in step 4, the data is saved into the xml file, but in order to finish the save, the user has to click on the "Save as" windows in order to have the file updated of course.. and that's where's my problem, how can i tell flash to wait till the user actually saves the file, before reload the xml file in the datagrid ? here's the code :

Im currently trying to work the imageSnapshot function in flex. Ive been looking hard but I cant seem to find a solution to my problem. I wish to take a screenshot of one of my components, to capture the final output of my program, since a plain "printscreen" cuts off some of the output due to it scrolling. My current code looks like -

I'm using sephorith's excellent export jpg with flash and php set up which can be found here:
[URL]
I have this working, taking a simple grab in my flash movie and finally displaying the image in the broswer as a jpg. This is all fine, however, instead of displaying the image in the browser, I want to just save it into a folder. I know very little php, but in the file provided, he uses the line:
[CODE]
// print out the correct header to the browser
header("Content-type:image/jpeg");
// display the image
imagejpeg($img, "", 90);

I have an image on the stage which is bigger than the stage itself:
The stage is 700x550
The image is 2100x1650, and it's registration point is at its center, if I remember correctly.The initial location of the image on the stage is 350,75.I want to make sure that the user will be able to drag the image, as long as the edges of the image doesn't show.here's what I did:
mapRect = new Rectangle(0-mapMC.width/2, 0-mapMC.height/2, mapMC.width, mapMC.height);
and later on:
mapMC.startDrag(false,mapRect);
The the top and the left of the image are bounded well, but as far as the bottom and the right side of the image.

change the following php/AS3 to make it save the dynamically created masked image to the server instead of offering it for download? You have to pass it variables from the as3 AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST...
PHP -
<?php
if(isset($_FILES['Filedata'])) { // basically if file data exists to actually upload.

I built an information terminal for the shop of a friend of mine which uns as fullscreen application.On this terminal the swf file is running as a stand alone file by unsing the flash player directly.I want to save a snapshot (jpg) from a webcam if someboy presses a button.This does work as long as I run my application (swf) by using the browser (Firefox , Apache and localhost).But if I try to use it as it should be used no image is beeing created.
There was an error when first testing the application which forwarded me to an Adobe site where I had the possibility to grant files permissions, which I did for the file (the SWF) that needed it.Did I do something wrong, or is there some permission thet I have to grant before it works as it should be?

I have a project where the user uploads a large 300dpi image, then manipulates it (drag it, rotate it, position it). And the user can reuse this 300 dpi image, basically to make something like a t-shirt pattern. Then when the user is ready, they save this t-shirt pattern, and the save format is a large 300dpi png. This saved png file is for printing. Now I figure I can have PHP take bitmap data (as binary I assume) and the php can create the png. Is it a good idea to use Flash for this? I will have to scale down the users loaded 300dpi image so they can position. Then I assume scale it back up when it comes time to save Does anyone think Flash can't handle this?

I have an image loaded from an url and added to canvas as child. Then I am drag and dropping another image on it which also uses the senocular transform so the image can be transformed on the canvas. I have coded in such way that the transform handles shows up only after it's dropped on canvas. The image shows up correctly. But I am trying to save the result image (that is the main image and the dropped image on top of it), I only end up with the main image that was loaded earlier. The dropped image doesn't show up.
Below is the code for handleDrop() that is fired on dragDrop event and prepares the final image.

how do you upload the image for temporary savings and then save it down to the local map?
My Situation: Making an flash website for my father in law and we got a server/domain which has got no database... Which make it impossible to basicly just save it to a database.
so I will make a admin place where he can go on and save the image to a map specified. and then it will upload the images by it self...
So how do I move the image from the local computer to the server where the website is. He wount have access to the server so he can't manually go in and put the images into the folder he needs an admin way of the website to save the images into the folder by remote access.

way to have a specific portion of the stage save as a .jpg to the server.
So, if a user were to draw something, and click a "save" button, they would be able to save their drawing to the server as a jpg.

i've seen a few good examples to save out a png of the current flash display area from a webbrowser from a flash, such as:[URL]what they normally do is stream the image data through a png encoder to a web server somewhere and then decode the image data back to current webbrowser and then trigger the web browser SAVE function, by prompting user to select a path and file name to save, like a download.however, the difference is when you click that save button, you can save your png image directly to a certain location with a fixed file name, such as on your local computer:
