Hello All,

I’m working on somewhat of a templated system  
where I’ve got a SWF file as a template and then  
people upload their own images and place them in  
the certain masked areas of the SWF to create  
like a scrapbook page.

My question is this, what would be the best way  
to convert those images to an image that people  
can save and thus print? Would I have to do this  
while their viewing the SWF or is there a way to  
generate an image with some sort of command line  
tool that I’d pass the swf the user’s settings to make  
the SWF unique each time?

Let me know what’d be best.

Thanks,

– DC
