RE: [Flashcoders] Anyway way to capture a SWF as a bitmap?
Thanks to everyone who pointed out the bitmapData.draw() method! I had seen that in passing but didn't realize that IBitmapDrawable supported all display objects. Thanks folks--that should do nicely.

RE: [Flashcoders] Anyway way to capture a SWF as a bitmap?
Have you tried loading the swf inside a MovieClip and then trace the MovieClip to a BitmapData object ? I don't know if the same security restrictions apply to swf files as with image files ...

Re: [Flashcoders] Anyway way to capture a SWF as a bitmap?
Hey Douglas, To answer your question, the technique is to create a BitmapData object initialized to the width/height of your movieclip, you then call draw() passing the movieclip you want to convert. This is something I've done in Flex. It's much easier in AS3 as there are jpeg/png encoders out there that encode BitmapData objects into byte arrays. The encoding phase is a little resource intensive, but once it's done, you have a compressed object you can send and write straight to the HD without any encoding on the server side.

Can't you just use BitmapData.draw()?

Anyone know if there's a way to draw the contents of a SWF to a Bitmap/BitmapData object within Flash? I have a SWF that involves lots of complex rendering steps and I want to be export it as a bitmap. The export part should be fine (using a server to actually save the file) if I can figure out how to get it into a BitmapData object so I can call getPixels() on it. Anyone have any ideas?
