Hello Tony,

I have checked out your PostACard application, it looks really great. I would like to know how did you customize the flex preloader?

Hey Tony,

I saw the component on your old blog.
I use it to draw lines on , like this:

myImage.addChild(new DrawableCanvas());

I didn’t believe my eyes when I saved my image with some lines to server.

Great component.
Thanks,
Arnon

Hi Gaston – Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

In the past I have always used this technique to save images from my flex applications. This works fine, but it does require you to be able to run PHP on your server.

I found another technique which works entirely within javascript (ie. without a server), but it doesn’t work in all browsers.

Hope that helps

Hey there,
this component is great and i actually saw it on your OLD flex blog. Over there i asked a question and i guess it wasn’t answered since you had moved to this one. My question would be, how can I save what I’ve drawn on the component?
I’m quite new at flex and haven’t been able to find anything about saving a canvas as an image.
I would really appreciate if you could clear this up for me. Thnx.

Gaston
