flash actionscript: Is it possible to convert flash to jpg/gif or any other image format during run time?

exp. I would like to have button 'export to image' within my movie to export current frame.

bobetko I had the same need as you do and from my research, as far as I can
tell, it isn't possible using FLASH. There is ONE work around you can try but
it requires you know another programming language like VB or C++. If you
don?t, I wouldn?t bother reading on ? I assume your hosting the swf file on a
webpage, but if you?re running it locally (like me) then you're in luck. If
you host it in something like VB6 then you can run API calls to take a
'SnapShot' of the swf file and save it to a JPG. This is what I did and it
worked. If you are running it online then you have one chance but it's really
ugly. You would need to do the same API calls as I mentioned before which
forces you to use a HTA file instead of HTML. This is ugly since HTA files
prompt the user before running each time. I doubt any of this helps, but if it
does then good luck!!! Troy
