The graphic nature of Flex makes it so your only real option is to screenshot the application and mail it to them as a graphic. To do this within Flex, see whether Application implements IBitmapDrawable- that will allow you to use bitmapData.draw() and get the raw display data. Once you have that, you've got two options: If you're in an AIR application, you can just write the file to the desktop and have them mail it. If not, you'll need to bounce it out to a server and mail it from there.
Make sure you call BitmapData.dispose() though- they're normally passed over by garbage collection.

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? Paul
