Did something like this a while back...there are many ways to approach the solution.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use Flex to give the user an interface to draw a box or lasso an image spot to print. So first you need a box (with a border and without fill) created on the fly as the user begins mouseDown, then as the mouse drags, constantly redraw the box as the mouse moves. When mouseUp, that's the last drawing of the box. If user OKs the selection, then send that dimensions and location of the box on the image to the backend (I use ColdFusion 8). With the lastest addition of the <cfimage> tag, crop the image and show it to the user (I duplicated the image then cropped the copy, so the user can go back to the original.) >From that page or view stack state, the user can click print or you can supply a print button. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PCC ps For clients that need a high-res solution, there are a few more steps to increase image quality. pps Before ColdFusion 8 I had to use a java solution invoked into the application. <cfinvoke> is your friend :) --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "wwwpl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > We need to create a control that will allow the user to rubber band an > area of an image and then print it.
