Finally got this to work, but how would you use this script to take a 
screen shot of the swf, say if i wanted to save a pdf of a drawing i made.

Hi,

If you want to put into the PDF a drawing you did inside Flash, you can pass the
DisplayObject containing your drawing. Can be a shape, sprite or any other display
object.

Something like : 

myPDFEncoder.addImage (myDrawingHolder, null , true, ImageFormat.JPG, 100, 0, 0, 0, 0);

let me know ;)

what i have is a interactive floorplan and when you have finished the plan the user 
can save a copy via PDF TO THE HARD DRIVE

You need to send the PDF to the server first, then download it through Flex/Flash
after doing so. You cannot save directly to the hard drive through the Flash Player
plugin (never have, and never will probably). Of course, using AIR will solve that
problem because it allows for file IO on the users' drive.

I am having a similar problem in which I am trying to save a report as PDF . With
flash player 10 , I can directly save into the fileSystem. But I am getting the
InvalidBtmapData.This is a combination of UI components for which I am trying to
print. Please help
