Hello All,

We are creating a drawing application. As usual, it has a canvas and all
the necessary tools. We do have an option viz. canvas size which allows
to have larger canvases. However, when the user chooses larger canvas,
the application size remains the same but the canvas now has scrolls
(using scroll pane) revealing more space by scrolling. Now, the problem
is while we save the canvas image. If the canvas size is minimal (so
that there are no scrolls) naturally everything which is seen is saved
as a JPEG file. However, when the canvas size is larger, only that much
part gets saved which is visible and fit within the viewing area. Of
course we can scroll and see the other part of the drawing but it saves
only the frame currently within the view and not the entire drawing.

We are using Flash 8, AS 2.0 (which is inevitable looking into the
project requirements).

Desperately seeking help!!!

Thanks in advance.

Warm Regards,

Parag Shah
