Image Cropping Utility

[RRAM webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I might be posting this in the wrong forum but here it goes.

I'm trying to create a "cropping" box in flash where I would load a jpg dynamically into flash and I once loaded, I would be able to drag the "cropping" box on top of the image knowing of course that I can't really crop it in flash but I would need to get the coordinates of the box, (top, left, width, height) so I can send that to an asp.net page (which I can take care of) for processing of the image.

All I need is the "cropping" box. If you would like an example of what I would like to accomplish, take a look at the "Edit and Borders" section of [url]http://www.ofoto.com[/url]. You would have to create a free account to be able to get to that section.

Any help, will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

you could use flash drawing methods to make draggable/sizable box.

kglad thanks for your reply. There's just one little problem and that's that I'm not sure how to do that or even where to start. If you or anyone out there than can point me in the right direction (fla, tutorials), I will really appreciate it.

Thank you all.
