Export Drawing Canvas to XML

hi guys,

i'm looking at making a drawing canvas with limited images (about 5 images, which can be used 1 or more times).

I haven't started coding yet, but is there a way to make a "bucket" of items, that can be dragged on to a canvas within a range of "x,y's" , and when I hit a button the flash generates an XML file that can be exported a server side page e.g. ASP.NET, PHP etc?

basically i would want say

<xml>
<canvas>
<image type="image1" x="45" y="50" />
</canvas>

to be generated if image1 was dragged on to the canvas at position X: 45, y:50.


any help much appreciated!

use a LoadVars object (in Flash) to send the _x and _y properties
of your objects to a server side script that writes the xml file.

i have attached a Flash 8 file and a PHP file

thanks i've read the php and xml and have a fair idea how it all links together - i've no flash installed on this machine, have to wait to get a cd drive - this is a netbook!!!
