Hi all, i’ve been doing a little research into bitmap data and it’s looking like you can do some pretty cool stuff with it…

i’m trying to make a banner that will eventually sit on a website such as yahoo or myspace or something, what i need is for the flash to capture a screen shot of the web page it is sitting in.

would i need to expand the flash area so that it is the entire size of the page before attempting to do a screen shot or can flash capture from outside of its own stage size?

any links or thoughts on this would be useful.

thanks in advnace
