Flex 3 - Saving an image of a component
- by Emma
Im currently trying to work the imageSnapshot function in flex. Ive been looking hard but I cant seem to find a solution to my problem. I wish to take a screenshot of one of my components, to capture the final output of my program, since a plain "printscreen" cuts off some of the output due to it scrolling. My current code looks like -
<mx:ApplicationControlBar dock="true">
<mx:Button label="Take snapshot of Profile"
click="takeSnapshot();" />
</mx:ApplicationControlBar>
Which when called does -
private function takeSnapshot(even:Event=null):void {
var imageSnap:ImageSnapshot = ImageSnapshot.captureImage(viewstack1);
Now i think this is taking the image of the viewstack which I want... But Im stumped on what to do from here! Is it not possible to now just copy the image to the clipboard, or produce a new window in my browser with the entire image inside? If anyone has any other way to do this, suggestions would be wonderful.
Thank you for your time.
