Export PNG From Flash Using ActionScript 3 PNG Exporter Class

Author: Muhammad bin Yusrat

Description: Makes an easy to export PNG Images from with in Flash. You can take a snapshot of any MovieClip and get the class to export it to PHP which then saves it.

Functions:

snapObject(target:MovieClip,cropArea:Rectangle = null)
This function accepts two arguments. One the target MovieClip that needs to be snapped. Second is an optional Rectangle (flash.geom.Rectangle) which, if passed, will crop the image to that rectangle.
SendToPage(URLToPage:String,onComplete:Function = null)
Once the movieclip has been snapped you can simply call this function and give it the URL to the PHP Page (included in the files) and it will send the image to it. A option “onComplete” function can also be passed which will be called once the image is saved.

Sample Code:

import com.muhammadbinyusrat.PNGExport;
var SnapObject:PNGExport = new PNGExport();//instanciate the class
SnapObject.snapObject(testClip); /*Takes a snapshot of the provided MovieClip, if you want it to be cropped before sending, you can specify a second argument as Rectangle*/
SnapObject.SendToPage(“http://localhost/class/GetImage.php“,test);
/*Once snaped, it can be sent to any page. The second argument is the function that can be called once the processing complete. Second argument is optional. */
function test(e:Event):void{
trace(“PHP’s Response:” + e.target.data);
}
