Dear All,
Can anyone help me with this.
I want to save a design built in Flash as a jpg but during runtime. That is I have a set of design which a viewer is allowed to browse through all movieclips. on clicking a button called save I want the selected design to be saved as a jpg image.
A similar example is there in the site [www.actionscript.org/tutorials](http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials) using a custom component MMSave operation but that allows you to save only swf and txt formats and not jpg. But this is possible I have seen it in a site…
Please help me.
Regards:(
