Question

Using Flex 3, I would like to take an image snapshot such as this:

var logoSnapshot:ImageSnapshot = ImageSnapshot.captureImage(logoContainer);

and turn it into something that the Image class can use. I see that there is a property called “data”, that holds a byteArray, so I guess my question is: How do I take an image that gets stored as a byteArray and convert it to something the Image class can use to display?

Answer 1

Simpler implementation that should work:

var bm : Bitmap = new Bitmap(ImageSnapshot.captureBitmapData(logoContainer));

Set “bm” as the source of your Image object.
