Hello!

I was wondering if it’s possible from flash to take a screen shot of the flash window itself… in order for the user to be able to send back his screen shot to the autor of the web site…  
seems impossible to me but maybe some gurus will have the answer 8]

TiA!

director can, though, as ilyaslamasse pointed out, flash cannot. If you have the option between the two and need that capability, it might be one to consider.

I gave the user instructions on using printscreen and pasting into Wordpad, then emailing…

That is the quickest way I’m afraid…

Please, if you find an easier way, let me know…

…cyanblue: because the Flashplayer has to be kept very small (the most d/l software ever)…
