Thanks for the sample app. I had problems with the Tinic’s AS3 PNG Encoder. I used your version and it works excellent.

Hi James,

Your Blog is really full of inspiration and ideas. I’m doing some investigation regarding saving flash drawing in remote file. Could you post complete code for original implementation of Flex Paint.
Thx.

@santhosh You can just wrap it inside a scrollable container. Check out the new version where this would be much easier.

Do you have a idea how to make the drawing board with scrollable.

I’ve created a new version of Flex Paint with Flex 4.

@Gene I haven’t tried this with large images. Without some code to play with it’s hard to say what the best approach is.

I am working on a project that has a similar feature but with one difference. I have a “paint” like feature but it also has the ability to import images and then they can draw and add text similar to your example above, but then the entire contents of the “paint palette” are saved as a new image. The issue is that the images that I am dealing with are very large ( like over 200 megs ) and the only thing that seems to make sense is to convert the image to a smaller size while in the paint pallette. We use a similar technique to save the image, but the issue is that when the new saved image is blown up it looks pixelated ( I am guessing this is because the imported 200 meg file lost some resolution when being converted to a smaller size, but this is the only way to make it look good in the pallette ). Any suggestions AT ALL would be so greatly appreciated. The end “saved” image needs to be able to be blown up LARGE ( like the size of a billboard large). PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Hi yugandhar,

You need to move the processing of the bitmaps across frames. The spinner never gets a chance to spin if you do everything in a single frame. You can process one, then do a callLater that processes the next one and so on. Let me know if that helps.
