Hello,

Im building a photo app for the iPhone, iPad.   Thing is, I wasnt able to use CameraUI because I need to overlay elements on top of the photo.  What I wanted to know is if I would be able to save the bytedata as a jpg to the iPhone photo library in some way.  If anyone could point me in the right direction i'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

You can either use CameraUI to get the picture, and then layer things on top of the picture after you have taken it. Or you can use the regular Camera class to get a live video feed, and lay things on top of the image before grabbing it (using a draw function to get the video image and overlay image combined).

Either way, you then go on to save the final image using the CameraRoll class.

Yes, something like this:

public static function saveToCameraRoll(bmd:BitmapData){

var cameraRoll:CameraRoll = new CameraRoll();

cameraRoll.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,saved);

cameraRoll.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR,failed);

cameraRoll.addBitmapData(bmd);
