Base64 TO bitmap question ?

Hi all

Does anybody know How to convert a Base64 string into a savable bitmap image in C2.

OR convert a canvas snapshot into a bitmap image before opening Url in new window?

(ideally with 256 colours!)

Thanks in advance

If you can make a data URI out of your base64 string, you can simply load it in to the Sprite or Tiled Background objects using their "load from URL" actions.

Canvas snapshotting returns a data URI so you can do exactly that.

Ashley, I am looking for a way to 'SAVE' the Canvas snapshot as a Bitmap (.bmp format) ?

1, These are the events

2, The 'Snapshot canvas' option has 2 Parameters... 'PNG'   or   'JPEG'

3, Running the events, results in picture 3...in this example it defaults to 'download.png'

I want to save the snapshot as a '.bmp' image.

Note..there is a tutorial covering the topic here (not C2 related)

Thanks in advance.
