I'll let you know, thanks for answering! Let me digg into Captivate’s options…

LOL! I think so too! I can of course shorten the duration, but I think I might investigate other options. Do you have any suggestions? An open source screen capturing/recording software perhaps? In the meantime, I'll take care to keep the duration short. Thanks, Kevin Quentin,

I could have, and I would have ended up with the raw bitmap data on the clipboard. It's easy enough to encode this data and save it to disk, insert it into the application, etc. At least that's the idea... I was experiencing some problems with encoding the bitmap data however, where I would end up with seemingly random parts of the image being transparent. I think this may be a bug in the alpha, but I need to clarify with the engineering team. In the meantime, I wanted to get this information out before a certain deadline... In this case, "Copy Image Location" gives me a URL (text) on the clipboard, which I then use URLLoader to pull the bits to a local file. I reference that local file in the IMG I'm inserting into the HTML page. Then I send that file to the clipboard and paste it on the desktop. So the text and file list items work as advertised, but I'm still investigating the bitmap encoding problem. Thanks for keeping me honest! Kevin Philip,
