Screen Shot Widget for the Flexviewer

[andrewj_ca]

A very simple widget that captures a screen shot of the current map window.  I use this in one form or another in many of our flex applications.  Though simple, I've been asked for this functionality many times so I thought I would share it.  I've included the source code as well as a compiled version.

Hi Andrew

Firstly - great widget idea, simple but very useful 🙂

I am using Flex 2.5 and have been trying to get it to work without much success - I just wanted to confirm that the widget worked at 2.5?

Thanks again,

Dominique

I use this snapshot tool with 2.5 with no problems:

Hi Anthony

Thanks for the tip, however I tried that widget (the 2.2 version) and it doesnt seem to work. Did you have an updated version or are you using the 2.2 Widget with a 2.5 Flex viewer?

Thanks very much

Dominique

Hello,

I just downloaded the screen shot widget, however there doesn't seem to be a xml file associated with it.

Isn't one required?

I'm using Viewer for Flex 3.1.

Thanks,

Haskett

Is the screenshot widget capable of capturing other widgets that are enabled, such as pop-up windows, in the jpg image?

Michael,

   This widget is configurable to capture ALL open widgets in the export:

PopUps are an issue because if they have a image inside them then you can not export them as this would be considered modifying the external image and will cause a Flash Player Security Sandbox error.

Thank you very much Robert.  This should fulfill a business need for my org.

Will pop-ups without images display on the exported jpg image?  Or do pop-ups just not get exported in general?

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Michael,

   Currently popups are not exported at all. I have not taken time to see if I can determine is there is an image in it or not.
