In Generator, I could just script Gen2 to publish in .jpg, and it would capture the current state of the Flash movie, and save it to a file for me. But that was server-side… What I need to do, is be able to grab an image of the client’s view of the Flash movie… kinda like print, but print screen… I am doing a dynamic application that will eventually go to the web, which requires being able to email your snapshot (created dynamically) to a friend… Has anyone heard of doing this? If not with Flash, how 'bout ASP, XML, PHP, anything? Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you coding gurus… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

Thanks, so far this is the first thing I have found that MX doesn’t have as compared to Generator… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

Sorry , I havent come across this, But could u do it similar to the way u record a mouse movement… when u clik record… may be u could do it, dynamically… I am not sure if this is possible i am not good at AS… but i was jkuz suggesting… Thanx Rev… I am not sure, but I think its event driven … like mouse press… so on… but, If i am not wrong, In 3ds Max u have an option where u can do this snapshot… so if it can be done there, it should be here too… But … really sorry … I am helpless… I really suck … when it comes to AS. jAy ---
