Halo guys! I’m somehow new here and in actionscripting. And bear with if i start to ask weird questions. I just want to know if it is possible in flash to capture, let’s say, a frame then save it as an image file( gif or jpeg ) to my disk. I imagine the case like this:  
I have an image on a single frame with a button beneath it which says “Save Image”. When I click the button, the image is captured then saved to my disk as gif or jpeg.  
sigh, I hope it really is possible and if it is, how.  
Thanks, adios. ;(
