SWF to PNG with Actionscript 3.0 - ByteArray class

[Flep]

Hi,
the more lines you draw the more data must be send to PHP.
I think that is normal... anyway I tried drawing several lines but I did not get so many time...

Hi there,
Thanks for such an interesting tutorial. My knowledge of flash is fairly basic, and I have even less experience of actionscript, so I would appreciate basic help, if that's ok!

I would like to add a "delete all" button to this, to reset the picture and start again from scratch. I can't figure out how to do this - I thought if I could set an action to a button then that would do, but I don't seem to be able to as all the code is in actionscript! Could anybody tell me what code I need to put in and where?!

Help appreciated and thank you again for the brilliant tutorials.

First of all let me thank you for this excellent website. I'm busy with an application for school (I started learning AS3 for school about four months ago so I;m not really an expert yet). I've implemented your swf to png which works excellent.

I do have a problem though. Your application lets you draw on the stage. I want my application to draw on an object, not a square one, but one drawn with the pen tool in Flash (or Photoshop, doesn't really matter as long as it follows my shape (a T-shirt)).

Do you have any idea how I should do this? I already tried with drawing something in a MovieClip in Flash and exporting it for AS (with name canvas) and using:

canvas.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragLine);

But the result is no different from the original drawing.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

1 ) create delete_btn onto the stage
2 ) add at init function:

delete_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,setDelDown);

3 ) create the setDelDown function:

private function setDelDown(evt:MouseEvent):void
		{
			clip.graphics.clear();
			removeChild(clip);
			
			clip=new MovieClip();
			addChild(clip);
			clip.graphics.lineStyle(5,da_color,1);
			clip.graphics.moveTo(mouseX,mouseY);
		}

it's done

Flep, Thank u very much for helping. Since I am very new w/ flash, can you attach a .fla with button delete here for download please ? You will make my day if you do so. Again, thanks

Hey Flep, first of all, thanks for this component, it's great!

But I do have a problem. I addapted it for my project, so what it's doing is taking a "screenshot" of the stage and saving the .png in a folder. And the thing is - it works fine when tested locally (wamp), but once it's on server, swf won't communicate with php.
When testing on server, I get this error:

Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://www.ibreslau.com/wall/genSliku.php

And HTTPStatusEvent gives me:

[HTTPStatusEvent type="httpStatus" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 status=0]

I checked URL 100 times already and tried to type full URL or just the name of the script and still flash wouldn't communicate with php script..
Please, if you have any ideas, share it with me, cause I'm loosing my mind. The whole project is finished, this is the only thing that's halting it..
Thanks, cheers from Croatia,

Ivan

I solved my problem! Although Flep wrote that the php file should be chmod 777, it didn't work for until I switched it to 755. Hope this info is helpful for some of you guys!

Thanks for this thread, I was curious if it was possible to do this!
