Answer 1

hello,
I am struggling with images for a while now and i have the
solution for you.
Its not the full solution, but the following code will take
any component and copy it to an image.
You only have to figure out how to save it server side.

working example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Matrix;
public function takeImage():void
//set image dimensions
mychartcopyimg.width=areachart1.width;
mychartcopyimg.height=areachart1.height;
//put original component into bitmapdata
var bmpData:BitmapData = new BitmapData( areachart1.width,
areachart1.height, true, 0xe4e4e4 ) ;
bmpData.draw( areachart1,null,null,null,null,true ) ;
//new matrix for copy image
var m : Matrix = new Matrix() ;
//scale the image to the size of the chart
m.scale( mychartcopyimg.width / areachart1.width,
mychartcopyimg.height / areachart1.height ) ;
//draw the copyed chart into the image
mychartcopyimg.graphics.beginBitmapFill( bmpData, m, false,
true ) ;
mychartcopyimg.graphics.drawRect( 0, 0,
mychartcopyimg.width, mychartcopyimg.height ) ;
mychartcopyimg.graphics.endFill();
