Oops, I mean “dear”, not dead.

So I try this and get:

Scene 1, Layer ‘AS’, Frame 1, Line 4 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: JPGEncoder.

Scene 1, Layer ‘AS’, Frame 1, Line 5 1120: Access of undefined property bitmapData.

Since most as3 tutorials I find seem to mention only half of what they actually need to run, I tried using the as3 core lib, but then..

Scene 1, Layer ‘AS’, Frame 1, Line 4 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method jpgEncoder.

Scene 1, Layer ‘AS’, Frame 1, Line 5 1120: Access of undefined property bitmapData.

Then I changed it to new JPGEncoder, which fixed the first error, but the bitmapdata still won’t work, no matter how it’s written. What’s wrong?

Also, dead AS3 tutorial-writers everywhere: It’s nice that you share code with us, but FFS, just attach a working sample FLA. It’s getting really tiresome to fix all those bugs and typos.

Cheers for this. Considering buying Flash CS5 to do a little project I’ve been asked to do.

One of the requirements is to be able to save out TXT and JPG files of the results of some user choices.

Can’t use PHP as the little app will just be sitting on their laptop with no internet access.

Am I right in thinking this code will let me do something similar? Haven’t got my head around exactly what AIR is – another bit of software I’ll need to get hold of? I’m hoping all I need to do is give my client the final SWF file…

useful template, I’ve worked with it and the results are terrific. Just like the number of options to create your own wallpaper

My wordpress doesn’t allow code (don’t know how to turn that on?), so maybe you could just share the image with me? Please post a link to the image

Checked your work on Flick and I’m very impressed.
You must be a big fun of Joshua Davis too.

It will be great to post that work on the blog. it’s easier for people to keep track of new things.
