I have this so far. Where I have the ?? is where I would like to know a
way to either transfer the newly created image to a folder on the
server...or I am at the point I could just let them download it/save it
and then reupload it (dont prefer that).
public function saveImage():void {
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(canvas.width,
canvas.height);
var rightNow:Date = new Date();
bitmapData.draw(canvas,new Matrix());
var bitmap : Bitmap = new Bitmap(bitmapData);
var jpg:JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder();
var ba:ByteArray = jpg.encode(bitmapData);
??(UserDataModel.getInstance().person.username + '-' + rightNow
+ '.jpg');
Alert.show("Your image has been saved and is in your photo
gallery", "Image Saved");
}

In order to save the image file to disk, you need to use the AIR File
API, which is available only to AIR applications.
You can capture the image, encode it as PNG or JPEG using
mx.graphics.codec.JPEGEncoder or mx.graphics.codec.PNGEncoder, then
upload the resulting byte to a server. Then your server application
can save the file to disk on the server.
I found these two links helpful:
