Saving dynamic swfs from flash

Im thinking of making a drawing app which allows a user to draw. While the user is drawing all the movements will be recorded, so that he can play his drawing back.

My question is i want to give the user the option to actually download his drawing in the form of a swf file. And when the swf file is replayed on his local machine, he will see playback of his drawing.

has anyoen done anything along thse lines? i.e saving dynamic swfs from within flash? any thrid party-tools that allow you do do this etc?

Thanks in adavnce

I have used php to save componet coordinates to a text file based on where the componet was dragged to you know i made a movie clip draggable.....then I used the info stored in the text file to replay those componets to the recorded position....would something like that help you ?

hi calmchess, thank.. actually the recording part etc is fine and I am able to do.... the part im tryign to figure out is how to let the user save their swf to their desktop and then replay it...

I see that one is over my head but I did see some flash applications on sourceforge.net yesterday that might be some help ........I just searched for flash on that site...I don't remember what application I think would be helpful there are so many but something I read there seems to me that it will help ....something about creating swf from java or something....sorry i can't be of more help.

might be in one of these links some place

thanks for the links..i'll check them out

bump..

anyway made some good progress taking another route..... the user can download his 'work' as a zip file and then view it offline in a projector file... which will display the ball at the last position it was at when u clicked submit

e.g http://www.experiments.flashmatics.c...animation.html

drag the ball arround to any position u like, and the click submit and follow the instructions...
