Re: FLASH: drawing app in Flash (and ability to save/share)

[Marc Pidoux]

There were few applications like this but most of them doesn't give you the

"saving" part.

As far as  i know, you have to send a lot of variables to a database to save

your work and read those variables when you want to load it... not easy and a

lot of works.


Somebody working for MM was making it and of course i don't remember who and

where it was...

Maybe somebody else remember?
