Hello all...!
I have a rather annoying client who constantly wants more and more even though you keep telling him "no you REALLY don't want to do that"...! Sound familiar?!
Anyway...here's my problem...he asked me to create a funky little paint program in shockwave...so that when kids visit his site, they can paint for their amusement and print the results. "Absolutely no problem" I said after realising that Director 8.5 now has new "Paintbox" behaviours that are very easy to implement. So in the flickering of an eye I had finished his program...I sat around for 6 weeks and then charged him the earth for it.
I don't feel guilty because quite frankly the guy is an Ar*e!
However, he has now come back and asked me if I can add to his little paint program the ability for the kid to email the finished product to a friend, and here's the catch - without using their own email program. So the problem I now have is that I need to somehow Export the cast member as a bitmap and ftp it to a server where it can be relayed to the email account of the recipient. Any suggestions? Is this the easiest way of doing this? Can anybody think of another way?
Can someone help please?! I'm obviously experiencing karma for taking the p*ss out of the guy because this is now turning into a long and expensive job!
Please please please someone help!!
Thanks in advance.
