Create Images on Server???

[daveistheword]

Is there a way to make the server generate a jpeg file of the current state of a movie? I'm building a drawing program, and this is a key part of it. Please let me know if you know of anything.

Actually, I think someone posted a link to a program that could do this ... I think it was Scotty, but I'm not sure ... Search it up :)

There is a program that does this (www.flash2ftp.com) but it only works with elements drawn on a canvas, not with movie clips. I may have to take that and tweak it...

Here's a basic example that uses PHP's GD module to create the JPEG or PNG files, and the Ming module to create new SWF movies of the drawing.
