Hi there

I’d like to make a page with links to other webpages I’ve made and since there’s a lot of them and they are all updated very often, I would like to make a script that takes a screenshot of the webpage and then stores it as a jpeg on the webserver to be dynamically loaded. That way I dont have to keep making new screenshots of those pages and updating that link-page myself.

Is this possible in AS2 or AS3?

If not, does anyone know if there’s a unix-program for this, which I can put in cron and then run it each hour or so. That would be sufficient.
