i’d like for user to be able to save a snapshot of the swf by clicking a btn. for example, i have a piece of paper that the user has typed on. is there a way to save an img of the swf?

that sounds to me like something you’d work out in php… maybe use php to write the txt onto a jpg that’s stored on the server?

i think it might have been the GD library that does that? i’m not sure… i havn’t gotten in that deep in php.
