create jpg in flash and export to desktop. possible?

[Davidissimo]

Alright, here's what I want to do:

In a flash projector. At runtime...upload(import?) an image from my computer, manipulate it by attaching movies (wigs, glasses etc) and then download that manipulated _mc to my desktop as a jpg so I can use it as a desktop.

This all has to be self contained to the projector file.

Can it be done? if so, I don't need the answer of how, unless you'd like to give it to me, but can you steer me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Davidissimo.

Not really...

Using Flash 8, you could pull out the pixel data from the image, and with a third party tool like Zinc you could access the local file system, but I think this would still require you to write a custom DLL in C++ or something that would actually generate the image file though...

This would be better suited to Director rather than Flash...

I go for the screen capture tool. Find the start and end position and capture your screen image into your desired image format.
