Hi, I have to make an application and I dont know whether Flash can do it or not, and whether it is easy to do:

The process is as following:

In the Flash,  
1: The user uploads an image  
2: The user enter a distance(e.g.: 5cm) , click “enter”  
3: he clicks 2 points(pt.A and pt.B) , and the program was told the distance between them is 5cm

To explain more clearly, I call the line joining pt.A and pt.B to be “Line AB”, and the mid-point of the “Line AB” to be “Midpoint AB”

4: Change the image resolution to be 50 pixels/cm  
5: Rotate the image until the Line AB become horizontal  
6: Crop the image based on Midpoint AB, such that the distance between:  
a) the top of the cropped image and the MidpointAB = 400 pixels (8cm)  
b) the bottom of the cropped image and the MidpointAB = 300 pixels (6cm)  
c) The left side of the cropped image and the MidpointAB = 200 pixels (4cm)  
d) the right side of the cropped image and the midpointAB = 200 pixels (4cm)

May I know whether Flash can do it and whether it is difficult to do so?

Thank you very much!

Hmm…well, from what you said, it isn’t very difficult, since the php portion is simple uploading, and flash portion is simple BitmapData manipulation…but frankly speaking, i couldn’t understand what you wanted to do actually…

Thank you , I want to superimpose an image on the other in 1:1 ratio : ) , so I have to make the resolution of the two image to be the same : )[quote=bluemagica;2334597]Hmm…well, from what you said, it isn’t very difficult, since the php portion is simple uploading, and flash portion is simple BitmapData manipulation…but frankly speaking, i couldn’t understand what you wanted to do actually…[/quote]
