Hello, :D i am very new to PHP.. but i've created an e-card maker in flash/actionscript3.. and now i want to be able to email the card they've created.. but i really have no idea how to do it. 

 

like, how do i capture what they have created on the screen, and then email that through PHP?

 

I would appreciate any help you guys could give me as there are so many smart minds here. 

 

thanks so much!

Hey Laura,

 

PHP can't capture the look of the flash object you have in the movie/animation.

You're going to have to code flash to print the look into a picture and then send that picture with php or...

 

...as all other e-cards do it, have the flash movie be able to read the querystring of the page (which you send with php/mail) and use that ID to re-create the flash movie/animation.

 

Here's a tutorial: http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/108/1/E-Cards-and-other-Dynamic-Systems/Page1.html

 

Let me warn you that this is advanced though.

thank you so much for your reply..

that tutorial looks great except for.. I do all of my actionscript in external sheets.. so I dont actually put code into the frames in the timeline. 

 

do you know of any other tutorials or help that do actionscript this way?

 

thanks again so much!!

 

Laura
