Hello, I recently made a post ([http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=262237](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=262237)) asking about how to convert an object within a SWF to a .JPG format on the fly. That question has been answered (thanks to cpgenius) but now a separate and somewhat unrelated issue has come up:

The example flash app given at [http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/snapshot/](http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/snapshot/) works great for doing the SWF–\>JPG conversion I need. However, when I copy the _exact same source files_ onto my server (which runs PHP 4.4.4) and run the app, the PHP generated image is color-distorted. In addition, after the loading bar reaches 100% there is an additional waiting time on the PHP page when I run it on my server, whereas there is no such waiting when I run it on the [flash-db.com](http://flash-db.com) server.

Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? It cannot be a code issue, since the files are identical on both servers. However, I am running the correct version of PHP so I don’t know what the problem could be. Ideas?
