There are lot of image capture scripts out there in AS2 but, when we try to capture large images using AS2 it becomes horrible due to huge memory utilization. This is due to pixel by pixel RGB value collection process of AS2.
When I was into a project development, I suppose to do the image saving process much quicker. So I found a method to achieve that by creating a container in AS3 and loading AS2 swf inside that to save the image much more faster.
This way I was successful in creating Image faster than AS2.
Here you go for the source https://github.com/sesubash/SAVE_IMAGE_FROM_AS2_PROJECT_USING_AS3_AND_PHP
Instructions:
In the save.html file I have embedded AS3 swf using swfobject, passed the AS2 file name, image name to be saved and save php script(create.php in this case).
Find the flash source files inside the folder. You can change the dimension of the rectangular area to be captured according to your project requirement in the file Main.as in the location SaveJpeg/Main.as.

Thank you for this, Subash. When I open save.html, this works fine. scene.swf is being displayed through saveContainer.swf.
However, I need to embed saveContainer.swf in a website. When I open saveContainer.swf, it is blank and does not show the scene.swf file. Is there a way to make this work? thanks.
Hi Drüd, can you show the code how you are embedding the saveContainer.swf ? Make sure that you are passing the values (“allowScriptAccess”, “sameDomain”), (“saveImageScript”,”create.php”),(“imageName”,”image.jpg”), (“AS2MovieName”,”scene.swf”) through FLASHVARS.
Wonderful post! We will be linking to this great article on our website. Keep up the great writing.
Perfect , but there is no save button on the page !
Hi Farshad,
This script will trigger save as soon as the content is loaded. If you want to trigger save explicitly, in SaveContainer.fla you can add a button to trigger the save functionality. It will just work fine. You can find the save button in the library of SaveContainer.fla. Let me know if you need more info.
Nope, I couldn’t make it to work !
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Button is not defined.
at SaveJpeg::Main/frame1()
SecurityError: Error #2000: No active security context.
This is what I get and you can see the live preview you here :
