I'm just attaching a few hundred circles to the screen inside of a for loop and placing them on the stage at random x & y positions. Look at the draw function inside Canvas.as. As for recording the screen you could try making a copy of the graphics object you are drawing into and then pushing that copy into an array on some timer event or enterframe handler. Then iterate over that array to redraw your animation on playback. This can get expensive in terms of memory fast but it is just one approach off the top of my head. @jordan.

How did you get those circles to redraw in real time? It that just a particle effect? I am trying to make it so that the user can replay the drawing as well. So if they draw a smiley face, they can see it redrawn after they have finished. any thoughts? This is really cool – I am trying to develop a drawing app that can save images.

Some things to consider: 1. Ensure you have write permissions on the target server directory (chmod 777) 2. Ensure the path to the php script (upload.php) on your server is correct. 3. Ensure you're not trying to save the image before Flash has created it from your target MovieClip. 4. Use an HTTP sniffer like Charles, Firebug or the activity monitor in Safari to check what is being sent to your server.
