Run the movie. When the movie is at the point you want to take a shot of, hit your "Print Screen/Sys Rq" button, to the left of Scroll lock.
Now open your favorite image editor and hit paste. *Note - You will have a picture of the whole monitor, not just the SWF window, so you will have to crop.

If the SWF is not your own you will need permission from the author to use it.

Thats the quick and dirty way. There are prgrams that can take scrren shots for you, only take set windows and all manner of fancy things. But I just like print screen.

you can use ALT+PRINT SCREEN to capture just a window, not the whole screen... :)

off course the window you want to capture should be focused... ;)

Yah, if you use the "alt+prt sc." you wont need to crop the image..

just make sure you selected the right window... :wink:
and then go over to a paint editor in this case "Windows Imager" and press "ctrl + v" and save it

Flash support is optional, and it is not on every server system compiled.
