Most solutions I've seen (such as the one Jim posted) only support converting Drawing API content to images. I've heard talk of people using ImageMagick or some type of screencapture software to convert what is displayed in the SWF to an image but am yet to see any examples.
Let me know if you come across a solution - I've been looking into this for a while. On 11/17/06, Jim Robson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I located a methodology for generating PNGs from Flash at runtime here: http://jerryscript.hostrocket.com/flash/draw/SWFDrawing2JPEG.html It makes use of the GD and Ming libraries. Has anyone on the list used this method, or something similar? I'd be interested in any lessons you learned through your experience - advantages, disadvantages, gotcha's, etc. Thanks -Jim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Robson Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 10:04 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Searching for Generator-like utility Remember Macromedia Generator? With the Generator extensions in the Flash authoring environment, you could create .swt files with placeholders for dynamic data and images. The Generator Server could then render these at runtime into .swf, .jpg, .gif, or .png files. With the advent of Flash MX, Generator was phased out. Does anyone know of a way to implement the functionality of Generator today? Specifically, I'm looking to convert Flashs file to .png files at runtime.
