Is there a way to use a button to emulate the print screen button on the keyboard?

I’m trying to “capture” what is showing in the projector…

I’ve found keypress stuff, understand how to do that, just can’t find anything on print screen.

Thanks in advance,

::EDIT:: I would really like to be able to hit Alt+PRTSCR if the world was full of cherries ::/EDIT::

yeah I really dont think you can envoke anything like that from Flash.

With Director, you can copy data to the clipboard, and Flash can through javascript… but not in the sense that would emulate prnt scrn. Not that I know of at least
