Hi people,
Something I wanna do but can’t figure out how to start.
Basically I have a small flash application that allow user to customize a avatar or something. After the customization, there should be a function that allow them to download the avatar they create as a .jpg file
I know this is possible, had seen something like that before, but how should I start about doing this?
Please advise…
Thanks

Which version of Flash are you using? If you are using Flash 8 or above, then this should be fairly simple. Doing this in an older version of Flash would be a bit more complicated.

Since this topic is in the AS1/AS2 forum, you’ll probably need to use a Flash 8 script. Here is an article that does a pretty good job of explaining what you’ll need to do; it also provides some source code: [http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000572.php](http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000572.php)
Edit: Nevermind, see glosrfc’s post. 🙂
