Hi,
Please tell me the possibility, Can we build any application in Flash/ Flex/ Flex AIR so that it capture particular flash screen which is running in a browser just like a print –screen?
Suppose I have a flash running on my screen. The intention is to capture the current state of the flash and upload it like a photo. If, I want to share one particular moment from an ishare movie. The restriction is that I cannot make any code changes inside the flash which i am taking screen-shot of, but we can have other flash elements on the page. The rest of the page is fully in our control.
Can anyone plz help me by giving any clue? Or any reference?
Thank you,
Sunil

flash can capture the image of itself only. To my opinion you have two possibilities if the application is running in a browser page :
1) Create an empty swf file with bitmap capturing code and load the swf to be captured inside this swf file. This way you don't have to change the code of that swf file.
2) you can use some java applet, but that would require the user permission to capture the screen area.

Hi,
thanks for reply, actually I want to capture desktop screenshot. Whatever browser open in desktop it should capture the screen shot of the Flash which is running in that browser.
I think Flash AIR can do that? What you think? Please suggest
