Masonjars Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hello, 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! <3 Laura Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/193947-how-to-email-an-e-card-with-php/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis1986 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 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.

Dennis1986 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Sorry, been years since I've used actionscript and flash, so have no clue :-/ I'm sure someone else can help, otherwise google something like "php flash e-card". There are a lot of scripts out there already Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/193947-how-to-email-an-e-card-with-php/#findComment-1020785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
