Hi I'm looking for somebody to help me out. REMEMBER! I'm using LiveSwif 2.2
I've only just started making flash games/annoying applications and I want to save a file directly from a flash button. I have no idea what the code is and if somebody could help me just to create a simple JPEG from the swf screen, then I would really appreciate it. lol it's not homework, I just want to use it for myself because I'm going to make a drawing application for my MP4 player. It reads swf's and is touch screen. All I need is a simple [if it is] actionscript code. Please if you can help me, I hope there isn't a save dialog involved!
I'm not demanding anything or threatening anyone, I'm just asking if anybody does know

AS, by default can't save files. You will have to go about doing a communication with a more powerful language that sends all of the data you want saved to it and then the oher language/ app will need to do the save.

If you are wanting to save to a web server it is fairly simple, you just have to use loadVars, and getUrl and that type of thing to talk to the server and tell it what to do.

If you are wanting to save to a client computer you will have to create a program in something like C++, Java or Python that listens for socket communications with the swf and then does the commands as they come in. The only problem with this idea is that it requires the client computer has your software installed and running.

Oh... My MP4 player can't connect to the internet, it doesn't have any programming language (that I know of), and is completely flash based (ie. Flash UI).
I'm not sure if I can even make this now! It won't matter anymore. I'll just make something else. Something more simple
