Comments on: AIR Screen Capture. Not So Fast. http://www.brooksandrus.com/blog/2008/09/11/air-screen-capture-not-so-fast/ This is the blog of Brooks Andrus. Here, at irregular intervals, you may find digital noise centered around the activities of an early 21st century technologist. I work for TechSmith Corporation, but this web space and the views found on it are entirely my own.

I mean, if that's the ONLY reason then okay. But maybe come up with a solution--like ask users or something. Ideally what we need is a way to send commands to other applications--then we could just use the SnagIt open API to have it do the work... wait a second. it’s totally a security issue–but I still hate it when they fall back on that as the reason.

Basically, they didn't want people to creating an application that took a screenshot of a user's desktop and then proceeds to steal user names and passwords via fake applications or even through a fake web browser. Not I'm not 100% sure of this, as the AIR tour was quite some time ago, perhaps it was just another developer I was talking to speculating why this functionality was missing, but I think it was someone from Adobe answering this question.

Thats one way but it would require the use of PrintScreen button One Idea I had was to try to use the print screen button and take the contents from the clipboard which would be a .bmp file but since flash does not have native .bmp support some one would have to convent the clipboard data into a byteArray then rencode the binarray data in to a jpg or png then take that byteArray and use writebites in to a Loader class.
