Please see my comment to the question. In the meanwhile, please read:

If this is what you need: this is not a simple task at all; it's very hard to advise anything definitive in a quick Questions & Answers forum. You would need to seriously study this problem.

[EDIT]

~~Maybe this is something else? :-)~~

This is quite problematic stuff. "Extract" sounds a bit naive. Try to search: http://bit.ly/JdIWwo[^].

well what you said is correct..
but i have already designed a software in .net C#, which converts the text in an image into a text file..
but i uses some refrences in .net and its easy to add in .net but i don't have any idea of using refrence in flex..

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 2-May-12 1:24am

I do not understand what do you mean by references in .NET. How this is related to Flex? You can use ASP.NET... if you can.

i used MODI refrence in .NET to create that software..

and extract doesn't sounds native..
its what i want to do..

I said "naive", not "native". This is how "extract" word sounds. This is really big thing, image recognition. First of all, I would advise you to avoid it. What is your workflow? If you already had some text and rendered it to an image, don't go back. Entropy growth is irreversible, you know. Better store the text information somewhere, etc.

wait you took every thing in wrong way..
what i want to do is that "if i am having an image which is having some text written over it. Suppose its a levis t-shirt and its brand name is written. so want that text 'levis' to be extracted from the image."
this is what i want to do

I did not get anything wrong! At least you did not demonstrate it to me. And you still did not explain why would you really need it.
This is answered. You need to develop or use some OCR technology. Calling it "extract" sounds like "I want to walk to Mars"... :-)
