SWF >> IMAGE

I'm not even sure if this is a PHP thing so sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Does anyone know if it's possible, or know where I can find some code/examples etc of how to do this..

I have an swf movie that generates random patterns by responding to music.. and what I would like to do is turn the final pattern (swf screen) into an image file that can be downloaded / saved etc by the user.

I know that in Flash you have an option to 'export image' which does exactly what I'm after but this is in the main Macromedia Flash app.. and I need to be able to do this from the embeded swf movie (does that make sense?)

I've been checking out the SWFlib stuff but can't seem to find a way of doing it.


Any suggestions, help, or resources would be great.

Thanks.
