Hi,

I’m working on a project, where you can create your own button design. You want 1000’s buttons with a piece of artwork, your choice of text, etc…

The movie is going to be made mostly of dragable movieclips for the clipart selection and placement, and a couple dynamic text boxes. My problem is, I need to some how reproduce what the user sees on the screen after he/she has finished their personal design. Basically take a screenshot of the users screen, and have that image/swf emailed to an email address. I’m having major difficulties…so if anyone can be of any help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
