I think I am getting a better handle on how to create the application in Flex and using Flash to develop the specific components of the drawing tool, but how would the users drawings get saved and sent back to the Flex app?
For example, we have an image that will be chosen in the Flex app, we will place the image on a canvas and use Flash components to create drawing tools to add "layers" to the image (text, shapes, etc). Now we want to send those drawn "layers" back to Flex, so that they can be merged with the original image. How will Flex grab what was drawn using the Flash components? Does that make sense? --- In [email protected], Matt Chotin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, you can do it in Flex.
