OT : Screenshots from Flash Player animation

[Duck Dodgers]

First, do forgive me for this off-topic thread. It will not happen again.

I would like to know if anybody here knows a program to read flash animation that can also allow me to make screenshots.
I would like to make some screenshots for my blog from the John K flash cartoons and I do not know how to do it.
Thanks in advance and do forgive me again for the off-topic thread.

I've found that if you hit Ctrl+Print Screen that will copy whatever's on your monitor screen to your computer's clipboard.

You can the open your "Paint" program (or whatever imaging software you use) hit Ctrl+V to paste the image.

Then you simply crop out the part of the image you want.

Primitive, but if you have basic Windows software, you can do it this way.

Let me know if that works for you, Andrea.

As a follow-up, here's a screen capture I just did using the above method.

In fact, that's how I made my TOBY icon.

Thanks.
I do not know if it worked. Where I would have to look to find the saved screenshots?

After hitting Print Screen, you have to paste (Ctrl+V) the image into a program like Paint in order to get the screen shot. The screen shots aren't saved automatically.

Note that on Windows this won't work with Windows Media Player or RealPlayer, but it should work with Flash files, QuickTime, and VLC.

Thanks! Now it works!
