FLASH: exporting (contents of ) swf during runtime to image format

[kristoff]

hi all



I have a drawing program.

You can drag objects on the canvas, rotate, resize etc.


Would it be possible (with flash 4 or 5) to export whatever a visitor has

drawn on the canvas to a image format, such as gif, jpg or eps?

Also from what I understand, when printing through flash, flash converts

whatever it has to print to a postscript file -- would it be possible to

"intercept" this?


Any pointers to *the* technology, tips,... are very appreciated!



    thank you, kristoff
