Creating a Flex AIR Screenshot app Part 15

In this tutorial we will add an export screen state, which will also display the progress to the user.

Before we do that, lets first add smoothing to our exported pictures. Set the last parameter in the draw() method of the bitmap data object to true. This line is located in the doExport() function:

function doExport():void {
bd = new BitmapData(tempHTML.width, tempHTML.height, false);
bd.draw(tempHTML, null, null, null, null, true);
byteArray = encoder.encode(bd);
fileName = pref_destination + File.separator + folderName + File.separator + tempHTML.width + "x" + tempHTML.height + "." + pref_format;
file = new File(fileName);
fileStream = new FileStream();
fileStream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);
fileStream.writeBytes(byteArray);
fileStream.close();
}

Now, lets create this export screen state. Add a new NavigatorContent with id of "export" (if you didnt have that one already), add a Label object with stylename of descriptionText and text value bound to a variable called exportText:

<s:NavigatorContent id="export">
<s:VGroup width="100%" horizontalAlign="center" paddingTop="20">
<s:Label styleName="descriptionText" text="{exportText}" />
</s:VGroup>
</s:NavigatorContent>

Now lets create this exportText variable, make it bindable:

[Bindable]
private var exportText:String;

If you didnt have the export navigator content before, you need to add a new object to the headerTitles array collection:

<fx:Declarations>
<mx:ArrayCollection id="headerTitles">
<fx:Object step="Step one:" description="load a web page." />
<fx:Object step="Loading..." description="please wait." />
<fx:Object step="Step two:" description="set your export preferences." />
<fx:Object step="Step two:" description="select the area you wish to crop." />
<fx:Object step="Step three:" description="set your export preferences for the cropped image." />
<fx:Object step="Exporting:" description="please wait." />
</mx:ArrayCollection>
</fx:Declarations>

Now go to the exportScreen() function. Add a new internal function called updateExportText with 4 parameters, and it should look like this:

function updateExportText(w:int, h:int, current:int, total:int):void {
exportText = "Exporting " + w + "x" + h + "." + pref_format + " (" + current + "/" + total + ")";
}

The function takes the values from the parameters and composes a message out of them. This message is then passed to the text field, since the value is boudn to that field.

Call this function after the sizes for the first screen are applied (or not applied, depending on the conditional results.

if(screensToExport[0].h <= 4096 && screensToExport[0].w <= 4096){
tempHTML.height = screensToExport[0].h;
tempHTML.width = screensToExport[0].w;
}
updateExportText(screensToExport[0].w, screensToExport[0].h, 1, screensToExport.length);

And in the onTimer() internal function too:

function onTimer(evt:TimerEvent):void {
// do export for the current size
if(screensToExport[timer.currentCount-1].h <= 4096 && screensToExport[timer.currentCount-1].w <= 4096){
timer.stop();
doExport();
timer.start();
}else {
Alert.show("Cannot export " + screensToExport[timer.currentCount-1].w + "x" + screensToExport[timer.currentCount-1].h + " - dimensions of a screenshot cannot extend 4096.","Sorry");
}
// change the size if this was not the last size in the array
if (timer.currentCount != screensToExport.length) {
tempHTML.horizontalScrollPolicy = "auto";
tempHTML.verticalScrollPolicy = "auto";
if(screensToExport[timer.currentCount].h <= 4096 && screensToExport[timer.currentCount].w <= 4096){
tempHTML.height = screensToExport[timer.currentCount].h;
tempHTML.width = screensToExport[timer.currentCount].w;
}
updateExportText(screensToExport[timer.currentCount].w, screensToExport[timer.currentCount].h, timer.currentCount+1, screensToExport.length);
}else {
// if it was the last size in the array, return to first page
timer.stop();
removeElement(tempHTML);
stack.selectedChild = loadpage;
}
}

And thats all for today! When the user is saving the images, the export progress is displayed, and after saving is done, it goes back to the first page.
