i want to know how can i run printscreen code from flash to capture user screen
as i want to have flash presentation in 600x600px with disabled desktop and flash presentation should be in center of screen.

any bright ideas?

import flash.system.fscommand;

stage.showDefaultContextMenu = false;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

fscommand("fullscreen", "true");



var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.width,stage.height);
bd.draw(stage);
var screenshot:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bd);
screenshot.x = 10;
screenshot.y = 10;
addChild(screenshot);

You can use BitmapData.draw() to capture everything on the stage but that's limited to what's inside the flash window. Taking a screenshot outside the flash window is restricted for security reasons.
