FileReference is great, but what about downloading an image rather than uploading?
Is there a way to do this in Flash 8? Say, being able to save a certain movieclip as a JPG? Or rather BMdata of that movieclip as a JPG?

Hmmmm good question.
I’ve seen sites do something like this, so I supose it’s possible… but how it’s done I don’t know. I supose you need some sort of server solution that will parse some data into a jpg.
Maybe you can send a “cached as bitmap” movieclip to php and then give the user an url with a jpg.
I’ll keep an eye on this post, this is interesting. 
You’ll need a button with the instance name of **download_bttn
**
import flash.net.FileReference;
var myFileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
download_bttn.onPress = function() {
myFileRef.download(“file url”, “default file name.file extension”);
}
Untested but should work.
Thanks for the replies and code guys.
Souled - this code is assuming that you’ve somehow uploaded a movieclip or BMD using PHP, do you have any idea how that is done? Unfortunately I’m beyond a PHP noob, I’m a PHP blim, all I know is $ is part of it’s syntax As long as that is possible, to upload a MC or BMD to my server with PHP, then have the user download it, then it would have the result I want.
Pier25 - I’ve actually never seen it, but I suddenly had an idea to use it, so wondered if it was possible 
Do you remember where you’ve seen it Pier?
Awesome, thanks Glos. Good old Mario

When you finish your drawing you can make a picture of it, but maybe the pixels of the picture are not direct pixel screens, instead they could be generated with parameters, or something…
