I have had requests on how to take snap shot and save it to disk. So here is a vary basic example that takes a picture of itself and saves it to disk using the file name provided. Here is the guts of the function that saves the image:

- private function snagPic():void {
- bitmapData = new BitmapData(this.width,this.height);
- bitmapData.draw(this,new Matrix());
- var bitmap : Bitmap = new Bitmap(bitmapData);
- var jpg:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder();
- var ba:ByteArray = jpg.encode(bitmapData);
- newImage = File.appStorageDirectory.resolve("Images/" + fileName.text + ".jpg");
- fileStream = new FileStream();
- fileStream.open(newImage, FileMode.UPDATE);
- fileStream.writeBytes(ba);
- }
Please note you will need the core lib for the image encoders if you want to compile it yourself.
