ive run this in FF, Chrome and even safari .. all worked fine as it should ..
but once I use IE it only produces a fully transparent png .. nothing else. it is the proper dimensions but it omits any of the image data .

??

Cheers!

I’d like to save multiple files on the server. Now the php script overwrites the other images on the server. Is there anyone who knows the answer to check if the image already exists on the server and if yes, simply add a “1″, “2″ and so on after the image’s name.

Thanks!

in BitmapSnapshot.as, change

var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData($width || $targ.width, $height || $targ.height);

to

var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData($width || $targ.width, $height || $targ.height, true, 0);

I have run into another issue and Similar to a few other posts.
This issue is with transparency’s when saving out as a png.

No matter how I set up my _canvas, it wants to add the flash stage color as the Background color to the image saved out.

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
And Thanks again !!

JPGEncoder.as, Line239 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: BitString.

which is a function definition on line 239 this is the code snippet in question > private function writeBits(bs:BitString):void{

what am I doing wrong ? or where is the class definition for BitString..

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: BitString.

Thank you

I’m trying to use your BitmapSnapshot and saveToDesktop. In my project, I upload an image to my server which then displays in my Swf in a MovieClip. Can I use your BitmapSnapshot and saveToDesktop?

Sorry, I’m a bit of a noob at this stuff… xD

The MovieClip in question is called “img_mc”, which I guess is my DisplayObject.

I m wondering how to catch the “complete” event, that i could load generated image once its creation complete.

maybe u could help on this

The jpg compression line is here in the BitmapSnapshot class?

if (ext==’jpg’) _image = new JPGEncoder(80).encode(bmd);

I saw a line for png as well :

if (ext==’png’) _image = PNGEncoder.encode(bmd);

Is there any compression for PNG?

I tried saving a PNG transparent.. Ill upload an image with transparencies which show up fine in Flash, then when saving, the transparency has been replaced with white. Does this have something to do with the mask? What does the mask serve for by the way that is passed as an argument when saving the image?

I also checked whether the image’s bitmapData is transparent: trace(“transparent: “, image.bitmapData.transparent);

Whenever I uploaded a .gif or .png, it came up as true, and .jpg came up as false, as expect. So when I bring .png images that are transparent into flash, the parts that are transparent still show up transparent in flash, but when saving it as PNG it comes up with a white background instead of the transparent areas. Any help on that , if you are aware of what could be the cause? Thanks!

1) Is there a way to keep the transparency of the image while saving the image to the server?

2) Is there a way to have a lower quality version for a lower filesize? (for instance, a setting of 10 would be highest quality with most filesize saved, and a setting of 1 would be lowest quality with lowest filesize saved, get what I mean?)

3) Is there a way to save as .gif? This is not as important however as the other two. The other two are a must for me.

If you can help me with this, please let me know.. you can contact me at my site at http://www.theothersun.com or at the email I entered into the comment. Thanks!

Thanks

Can you please record the procedure for using this class? What i’m struggling with is what to change and what to not change….

You can use this great and free software to record the steps: http://camstudio.org/ – You don’t really need to record any audio!

You can use those settings in camstudio for best quality…: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnxadwJWY2M

It’ll be really great if you can record the procedure, I’m very sure that many beginners in Flash wil be happy!

Actually write a code to save a movie clip as image which saves contents(only childs of movie clip) of movie clip.. But i want it to save as anything has seen on movie clip must be saved as image..

Do u have any pointers regarding that?

Thanks in advance,

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?

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.
