AS3 send Email with attachment (swf printscreen->JPEG) capability?

[watcher]

Hi Folks,

only those who actually got real code to show please.

Im looking for help on how to create send-email with attachment using AS3.

Furthermore the attachment should be printscreen of the flash movie converted into JPEG (preferrably with no need to upload the file to server - can this be done on the fly?), and the JPEG then should be included as attachment in the email.

Anyone who did this already and would be open to share?

(2) this link seems to show how to get printscreen of [part of] flash movie and post it to server as jpeg:

(3) printscreen swf and save to HDD as JPG/PNG [FP10]:

That designreviver atricle is what i used to set it up in flash.
To send the email you have to clear this from his php script

// add headers for download dialog-box
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$_GET['name']);


echo $jpg;
You the have to parse the bytearray from flash you sent.

$image64 = base64_encode($jpg);
$image = chunk_split($image64);

create a unique id num

$sep = sha1(date('r', time()));

get your email client & send yourself an email with an inline image
Copy the source into your php file

let php parse it and fill out the boundry id and message/content id with $sep

like

$header .= "Content-type: multipart/related; boundary=\"Boundary_(ID_".$sep.")\"\r\n";

$body = 'etc';
make sure you \r\n

and

mail( $to, $subject, $body, $header );

did the trick for me once i got those pesky headers right.

I followed the directions as laid out...I think... with this code but it did not work. Ideas?


<?php

if ( isset ( $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"] )) {

// get bytearray
$im = $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"];

// add headers for download dialog-box
//header('Content-Type: image/jpeg'); // removed for testing
//header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$_GET['name']); //removed for testing
//echo $im; //removed for testing
echo $jpg
$image64 = base64_encode($jpg);
$image = chunk_split($image64);

$sep = sha1(date('r',time()));

$header .= "Content-type: multipart/related;
boundary=\"Boundary_(ID_".$sep.")\"\r\n";

$body = 'etc';

mail( $to, $subject, $body, $header );

} else echo 'An error occured.';

?>

Did you ever get this resolved? If so I'd love to know what your solution was.
