@kev in the listener.onComplete event in result_lv.onData the 'src' in this case would be the name of the file. whatever you echo out in the file will be returned in this variable.

i created a unique filename by adding time() to the filename…. how do i pass this unique filename to flash, so i can use loadmovie to import the jpg? thanks!

heres the php
$fp = fopen(”images/name”.time().”.jpg”, “w”);
ob_start();
imagejpeg($img, “”, 90);
$img = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
fwrite($fp, $img);
$my_string =
echo “name”.time().”.jpg”;
exit;
?>

@Bobby well if it's not event creating a file then fopen is failing so I would check your folder permissions.

Tnx, but I already did that. I basically added that part of the script to your php. This is the last part:

$filename = “name.jpg”
$fp = fopen(”images/$filename”, “w”);
ob_start();
imagejpeg($img, “”, 90);
$img = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
fwrite($fp, $img);
fclose($fp)
exit;

Yet… still not working. Am I missing a small detail?

@aleko205 i did it to see a mirrored image. if you dont want it mirrored you don’t need to take the inverse of the xscale. Also, take out the “if” statement dealing with the Matrix class inside the “take.onRelease” function.

@Bobby Well that is just going to open up a file for writing. You then need to call this function "fwrite($fp, $binary_data)" and then close it with "close($fp)"

Any idea why this doesn’t work in the PHP:

$filename = “name.jpg”
$fp = fopen(”images/$filename”, “w”);

It doesn’t seem to save anything.
