I am creating a drawing in flash at runtime and wanted to know how to go about saving the drawing once created. Could someone tell me how to do this or lead me to an example somewhere.

Thanks.

maybe I’m newer to flash than I thought, but…

What’s runtime?

If you are just wanting to save your drawing as an image, simply  
go to File/Export Image and choose your type (jpg, gif) and  
settings for the quality of the image.

Not sure that’s what you need, but hey, I tried. 🙂
