You may want to wait for AS3. At www.kaourantin.net/2005/10/png-encoder-in-as3.html, you will find a PNG encoder that one of the Flash Player programmers wrote. He's also got a JPG encoder. Both are written in AS3, because the performance would be too slow in AS2.
At www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2006/03/saving_bitmapda.html, Grant Skinner has posted his AS2 solution. To get around the performance issues, his solution works with small images. Also take a look at www.quasimondo.com/archives/000572.php. AS3 has native support for ZLIB compression, which will make these kinds of tasks easier. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rifled Cloaca Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 12:04 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] Export Bitmap Data at runtime Flashcoders, With Flash 8, is there a way to turn a bitmapped movieclip into a PNG or compress it somehow to send it back to the server as a bitmap at runtime? I imagine you could send it as raw bitmap data, but it would be quite large.
