  • 0

I have a flash file where I load a remote SWF file into my own. Now what I want to do is convert that remote SWF file into a GIF that I can save onto my server.

The remote file is a SWF that has a variable amount of frames, and I somehow need to be able to figure out the amount of frames (I presume), and take a snapshot (picture) of every frame, to turn the taken pictures into a GIF file. That’s what I THINK has to be done, however I have no idea if it’s even possible to take pictures/snapshots of remote SWF files.

I need some serious suggestions on how I could get this working. I’m a serious Flash newbie, and anything would help.

bmd.draw(stage);
