Capture an Image of the Current Flash Movie Frame

F-IN-BOX provides the ability to capture the current frame of a Flash movie as a bitmap.
This allows applications to export frames to images (e.g., BMP, JPEG) or use them in workflows such as generating AVI video sequences.

Using FPCM_GET_FRAME_BITMAP, you can capture snapshots of Flash movies at runtime. This makes it possible to build applications that convert Flash animations into image sequences or videos.

C++ Example

#include <atlimage.h>
...
SFPCGetFrameBitmap FPCGetFrameBitmap = { 0 };
 
// Request the current frame as a bitmap
::SendMessage(g_hwndFlashPlayerControl, FPCM_GET_FRAME_BITMAP, 0, (LPARAM)&FPCGetFrameBitmap);
 
HBITMAP hBitmap = FPCGetFrameBitmap.hBitmap;
 
if (NULL != hBitmap)
{
    CImage Image;
 
    Image.Attach(hBitmap);
 
    // Save captured frame to file
    Image.Save(_T("Frame.bmp"));
 
    Image.Detach();
 
    DeleteObject(hBitmap);
}
