Drawing board

Hi, i think about a drawing board for my page. But is there a possibility to save “pictures” after drawing?

Nice greetings,
Alex.

Hi,
Yes, in MX you can achoive what you want, check out this tute atKirupa it should give you what you need

Cheers

Thank you, i will try it…

The tut show how save text, but I don’t know how to save the drawing from a drawing board!
Do somebody has an example or something else??

Sorry Alex,
The intro to the tute says it will show how to save a drawing, but the tute doesn’t actually go that far. Do a search of these forums as I feel sure that the Q must have come up before, I know that I have seen a tute on it somewhere, so I’ll have a think/look around and get back later

Cheers

Ok, thanks.

To save images would be a complex matter… Albeit… I know of a way that can help you out… But it wouldn’t be pretty…

You’d have to make your own .txt files with information about the objects the movie holds… The movie can read these text files and parse the information inside of them and create the as well :slight_smile:

Hi,
No, you really don’t need to do backend scripting to save drawings anymore - not with the Flash sharedObject.
Alex if you go to the movies section of actionscript.org, this link will take you to the correct pages, theres is an open source fla which will demonstrat what I am saying.
Cheers

very cool, thanks, SteveD.

Alex.

im actually working on a similar thing right now. I log all the mouse positions in an array, store the array into a string (toString();**), and then save it in a text file (or a db in my case). to retrieve them, use String.Split(",")… let me know if you need more help :slight_smile:

hi ahmed,
can you send me anything like an exmaple of your work. my knowings about flash are not so good at this time.

greetz, alex.

hey alex,

here’s the file > http://24.141.60.208/sketcher.html
the word points in the word ‘kirupa’ are stored as co-ordinates in this file http://24.141.60.208/points.txt

and here’s the fla > http://24.141.60.208/sketcher.fla (might be kinda messy)

i didnt start building the interface yet and the server-side functionality yet… will start on that soon :slight_smile:

hey ahmed,
very cool,

alex

I am working on a project and over the last month or so I have been searching the forum and finding bits and pieces to help me out but nothing as close as your scribble application Ahmed…brilliant.

I need to do the same sort of thing as in your app which is save a snap shot of activity on the stage ie the position etc of all MC’s in the overall movie.

Is there any chance that you could help out Ahmed ?? if so I will post the flash file and describe what I am looking to achieve.

Thanks
