[Resolved] "Save Picture As..." in MX success!

[dudovcic@qrex.com]

I wanted to be able to invoke "Save Picture As..." within MX. Couldn't find many threads about it. Created it myself with idea and poor knowledge of JavaScript. It works in hidden frame set and IFRAME within one of the frames and image name as var passed via url. Tried to post it on flashkit movies but...Server error. Take a look <a href="http://www.galovic.com/testimg/">Here</a> or download <a href="http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scripting/Javascript/Save_Pic-George_U-6926/index.shtml">Here</a>
Let me know what you think. Or if some better ways to do it.

very nice dude

[sonwah]

didn't work for me,
it saved an html file that didn't have a image in it,
and I tried forcing the suffix to .jpg and it didn't open as an image.

really cool idea though!

[Mark0™]

worked for me

[dudovcic@qrex.com]

<b>sonwah</b>, did you try it locally?<br> maybe the pictures didn't load... I tested it only on IE6 XP.(Forget about Netscape)<br>
Has to be something with variable -img- that's passed via URL from test2.htm to test3.htm

thanks for good comments anyway

[sonwah]

try it locally?
no, I tried it on the url you posted.
IE5, win2K sp2, Flash 6,0,23,0

[dudovcic@qrex.com]

I wanted to know if it did same thing locally.

I used document.execCommand('SaveAs')in js function. it should be supported in IE 5... I'll try tomorrow at work with 5 on 2K

G night i'm off to bed

[BenG]

using ie 5, but thats probably cos i'm on a mac that it doesn't work?

[dudovcic@qrex.com]

I just found out; this method is supported on IE 5.5 and 6 only.
Don't know about Mac

Very cool man...I downloaded what you did and am checking it out now!

Update - Your variable name scheme is cracking me up man!! HA! "src="'+makeMeProud(text));"

dudovcic@qrex.com, can you reupload those downloads? I have a deadline of next Friday and have to do this - or explain to my boss why it can't be done.
