Hello. I'm a designer/developer (and definitely not a newb), but there is one thing that i do not know how to do, and i would like to ask you if you do.
I saw the drawing tutorial about the actionscripted drawing application. Sure, it was fascinating to know that flash can actually draw lines (and i wont have to make zillions of little dots to make lines). But, is there a way that i can save the line information? maybe after drawing the lines, we can save the information as text and load it back up in flash? i was thinking "hmm, maybe we can extract the corners or positions of the lines, and save it as text, then load it back into flash." That's what i would like to know.
What I'm actually making is a drawing application guestbook where guests can draw whatever, then save the text/info into the backend (in my case, PHP and MySql. I know the saving and loading so you wont have to worry about it). Then, whenever another user decides to view the guestbook, he or she can "call" the line info and regenerate the drawn lines into the flash app.
Thanks.
