Odd question I hope someone may have a clue how I should proceed.

I made a character design flash game. you pick hair, eye color, the usual stuff which is added to finalCharacter_mc on the stage.

Now what I wanted to do is click a button and send finalCharacter_mc as an email.

Is there a way to create a image or something in flash 8 or have it talk to php to create a file that it could then email?

what exactly do you want to email? you cant email .swfs so your only option is to save the "clip" as an image, attach that image to an email and send it. you need server side languages wether its ASP.net or php to help with this.

Sorry the idea is a bit hard to explain.

What I mean is that the person on a website plays the game and ends up with his final image(think of a cut out game where a person drags clothes onto a figure). Now I want to have a button that this person can click that would send him the image, by email, that he made.

Is there a way to get that image out of flash? I know about the print() function which I can use to pick a movieclip to print but is there an equivilent function/hack to get a movieclip into an email.
