I have this flash file Swf. And it loads an image. I want to be able to have a button( which i dont know how to do in SWFkit) and have the option of saving as a jpg.

I have seen earlier post, but they dont talk about how to paste the code where, or how to create the button, ?

Any help will do.

Thanks

Any help will do??

[SWFKit]

1. Add a button into your swf
2. Add action script code for the button

on (release)
{
    fscommand("ffish_run", "saveimage");
}

When you click the button, FFish script "saveimage" is called

3. In swfkit, add the "saveimage" script
4. In "saveimage" firstly launch a FileSave dialog to choose the output file, then use the Image object to save the image.

Ok,
I added the code to the swf movie,
Also i added in the initialize script this

//Initialize

var tmp_image = Shell.getSpecialFolder("temp") + "\\~" + (new Date()).getTime().toString() + ".jpg";

getMainWnd().onClose = function ()
{
if (File.exists(tmp_image))
(new File(tmp_image)).remove();
}


return true;

And on the saveimage script i added this,

//saveimage

//Get image name
var image_name = FlashPlayer.getVariable("_root.image_name");
trace(image_name);

//Open the filesave dialog
var saveFilter = "Jpeg files(*.jpg)|*.jpg|";
var image_to_save = Dialogs.fileSave(saveFilter, ".jpg");
if (image_to_save && image_name != '')
{
trace(image_to_save);

var img = Image.load(image_name);
img.save(image_to_save);
Shell.open(image_to_save);
}

When I click Build test application i get this output error that my files do not exists. I run the program and it works fine, I can draw on it and when i click save the save dialog box appers but when i save it, it doesnt do anything, it doesn created anywhere....

Again be patient with me, I am not a programmer or a coder, and I do apologize if my question seem silly or dumb. But i really need this to work.

You must use the Image object to load an external image before you convert it to jpg.

Ok, here is the problem. I added the scripts and when ever i click the button, i get the save dialgo box but doesnt save.

here is the code,

on the Initialize i have this

//Initialize

var tmp_image = Shell.getSpecialFolder("temp") + "\\~" + (new Date()).getTime().toString() + ".jpg";

getMainWnd().onClose = function ()
{
if (File.exists(tmp_image))
(new File(tmp_image)).remove();
}


return true;

On the saveimage script i have this

//saveimage

//Get image name
var image_name = FlashPlayer.getVariable("_root.image_name");
trace(image_name);

//Open the filesave dialog
var saveFilter = "JPEG files(*.jpg)|*.jpg|";
var image_to_save = Dialogs.fileSave(saveFilter, ".jpg");
if (image_to_save && image_name != '')
{
trace(image_to_save);

var img = Image.load(image_name);
img.save(image_to_save);
Shell.open(image_to_save);
}

And on the SWF Movie i have the button and the action that you told me to put that is this,

on(release){

fscommand("ffish_run", "saveimage");

}

My problem is that it doesnt save anything..
I am getting really close to a turning the project in, and i just need this to finish HELP...
