In an application that I wrote years ago in ASP classic, I had a 
button on every page that would allow the user to e-mail the current 
page to someone. It would actually capture the innerHTML, and append 
it to an e-mail and send it. The purpose was to capture a snapshot of 
the data at the time the page was rendered. It was great for trouble 
shooting customer complaints because we could see what they saw at 
that particular time (thit was a 600 user DB app, and the data 
changed frequently).

I would like to do something similar in Flex. Yes I know I can have 
the user do an Alt-Print-Screen, and paste it into word or paint, and 
send the image, but I was hoping for something more seamless. 
Something I coud put on each panel that the user could click, and it 
would popup a box that would ask where to e-mail it to. It would 
attach the current rendered panel to an e-mail as a jpg, pdf, png... 

I have the e-mail piece operational, but I haven't a clue where to 
start on the capture piece.

Anybody have any good ideas?
