Communicating between 2.0 and 3.0

I have a large project that had been developed in 2.0 and a feature that is better in 3.0, saving a jpeg, is needed. I have the 2.0 swf which has the movieclip in it I want to save. The 3.0 document is being loaded on level and I want the 3.0 document to get the bitMapData from the 2.0 document and save the jpeg.

So far I'm just trying to use LocalConnection and get the 3.0 to execute the function. I can't get that to work. I'm just passing a string of text first but then I'll pass the bitmap data, later.

i don't think you can execute any as3 code. just place a trace("HI") in your as3 file and see if you can get it to execute after being loaded by an as2 file.

that is definitely not an option.

i'm almost finished with using the local connection. my problem is sending the bitmapdata through the localconnection. i'm not sure how to do it yet. what's the code to capture the bitmap data and pass it as a variable so in the 3.0 i can just do this:

mycode.draw(passedData);

convert the as2 code to as3 or use as2 methods to save the jpeg.

so what is your suggestion about how to take a complete site that is 2.0 and give them the option to save a jpeg which is done in 3.0?

as 3 won't execute when loaded by an as2 file.
