Hello folk’s,
I have been assigned a task which is basically this, however i am having issues implementing this solution.
Sending the snapshot.data via httpservice is working (i can use Request.InputStream.Length in my asp.net page to get the length, and view the properties of the object to be sent in Flex).
What i was looking for was some assistance dealing with the request in asp.net. To be clear, i dont need to save the image, just display it in a image control in asp. I appreciate any assistance i am give. And btw, i am relatively new at this, so please excuse my ignorance. Thanks in advance.

Hi!
I am trying to do the same with httpService…

Could you please explain how did you pass the screenshot to your request. Do not see the assignment
snapshot variable to request….

This is excellent! Im wondering what adjustments I might need to make here to send a file instead of a screenshot. Im using AIR and I have the filestream. Is it best to somehow convert this to a byte[] on the client side and use the same server code, or send the filestream across (as a string?) and modify the server code to suit.

Any thoughts here?

Any chance of showing the full C# code, or another example in VB.net?

Thanks

this is very cool sample of flex ability in bitmap tools.
thank you

oh, i agree SuperJason, because in this case we should use this class (simple and lighter)
in the adobe live docs, advise to all user if we want use the actionscript only, the URLLoader is better.
