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 SteveD ---

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 🙂 playamarz :player: ---

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](http://www.actionscript.org/movies-results.php?searchTerm=sharedObjects) of [actionscript.org](http://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 SteveD ---

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 🙂 ---

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 :thumb: ---
