Taking a screenshot with flash

#1 05-17-2008, 02:54 AM

Can anyone tell me how I should go about using flash to take a screenshot? I
just want to take a screenshot of what I'm doing and have it automatically load
into a frame on an actionscript 3 file (I am aware of window's print screen
button but I want to use flash to directly do it).

search for the jpegencoder class.

The only class I found with a 'J' is the JointStyle class. Also, I don't want
to take a screenshot in windows and then convert it. I would like to create a
Flash app that would allow you to take a screenshot from your browser while
using Linux. Sort of like the way the screencast-o-matic
(http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/create) takes a screencast.

Will this work fast enough to make a screencast similar to the screencast-o-matic?
