It's one of those things where 'abuse' comes to mind. Short of not allowing flash to do such a thing, if such an overwrite of the clip-board is occurring there should be a warning to the user, otherwise they might wonder why they can't use copy-paste anymore!

I wonder what it is that would be so critical you don't want a screen shot...?

I've never seen a system that stops someone from taking a screen shot when they still really wanted one, in the end it's just an annoying feature that disrupts everyone's time/sanity!

With kind,

Seb.

Thanks for remember that Jim, I forgot to say that it just worked on windows
in my tests it didnt work on linux nor mac, but it was OK for the project I
developed

but you have to remember that the user wont be able to copy anything while
your flash is running, even in the background

If you have any Macs in your target audience, remember that the OS's screen
capture routine doesn't involve the clipboard, but creates a PNG file
directly on the desktop.

Remember too that there is a variety of screen grab utilities out there on
either platform... this might be a losing battle.

In AS2 I used to create an onEnterFrame loop to overwrite the clipboard
content using the System.setClipboard(string) function, it still works in
AS3

Hi. :)

I'm attempting to disable using the Print Screen button for an AS3 movie
on
a web page.  The stage doesn't appear to fire a KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN
when
the Print Screen key is pressed.

Is there a way to detect the Print Screen key?  Or another method for
disabling the user's ability to do a Print Screen screen cap of a Flash
movie?
