then draw the topmost displayobject to that bitmap. Then you can do
whatever you want with the bitmap including use it as an image
elsewhere.

Subject: [flexcoders] Is it possible to dynamically get a PrintScreen
Image?
I've got a dynamic application that can be in any number of
view-states. Generally speaking, no two states are the same.
I've got a method set up to change the view-state by listening to the
mouse wheel. The has the effect of "zooming" the view-state of my
application. I put that in quotes because it does not really zoom the
application (ie, with a Flex effect or Flash tween), it simply changes
and updates the view-state.
What I would like to do is the following :
1) Take a "snapshot" of the current visual state
2) Load that snapshot into a dynamic "snapshot view" at the top level
such that it is the only visible element on the screen.
3) Zoom into the "snapshot view" using the Flex zoom effect while
loading all my updated view-state in the background.
4) When my updated view-state has loaded in the background, remove (or
hide) the top-level "snapshot view".
Can anyone tell me if this idea of taking a dynamic "snapshot" is
possible and, if so, how I can go about accomplishing it? A way to
incorporate CacheAsBitmap or something similar?
If I have been unclear, or you need more information, please don't
hesitate to ask.
