OK guys, this one may be tough, definately not a common issue, and I am really
stuck but have to make it happen. any thoughts at all you have, even if it isnt
the solution, are VERY appreciated.

For reference: useing flash mx2004, PhpObject, Php, MySQL, and "drawplane"
(drawplane is an extension found here:

So heres the issue. I need to make a system where clients can proof design
work online. I have everything set up, and in cases where they want changes I
have a pop up flash mc that has the proof image with "drawplane" over it so
that they can sketch on it like a white board. (drawplane is basically like a
in-flash version of MS_paint.) So the problem comes when I want to save out the
edits they made. Text I can deal with, just email or drop in a database, but
how do I save off the drawn edits? Anything you guys got is fine. Some ideas I
had are: flash makes a jpg "screenshot" and saves it to the host. flash exports
a swf of it, or if theres someway to convert the graphic edits as text or code
then Im home free. Also, I am perfectly happy to use some other method to make
the "drawplane" functionality or use any exchanges out there for this. Thanks
so much guys. Boss is breathin pretty hard on me for this one.
