I have an as3 project that lets a users create labels for jars and containers (think t-shirt editor) using custom images and text.
To send them to the printer as pngs, I create a Bitmap object and use a scale matrix and they come out perfect.
There is, however, a 2-14 sec lag between building the bitmap, sending it to the php service and getting a confirmation back.
I was wondering if there was a way I could write a flash application to process images on the server instead.
This application would need to be able to:
- download images
- create and position sprites with custom graphics
- create and position textfields with 1 of 14 fonts
- mask said images, sprites and textfields
- process several Bitmap objects (large version, thumb nail, etc)
- send BitmapData to php to save on server
All that with no user-interface.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much.
