Hi all,

I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to have Flash take a snapshot (like a screenshot) of a movieclip then make it available as a jpg. Basically, here’s what I’m trying to do:

I have an Ad Libs type of form where users type in answers in text fields. When they’ve filled them all out, a dynamically generated image pops in below (as if their answers generated a unique result). I want the user to be able to email this result, design and all, not just the information.

Any ideas on a good way to accomplish this?

thanks!
