NEW IDEA: Good Uploader

[Meti]

Hello,
I've been thinking about this idea for like 2 days now, and now I wanted to tell you guys about it.

It's a uploading site, where you can PRINT SCREEN your screen, and upload it on the site.

I mean like there's a button saying "PRINT SCREEN", and it records your screen, and uploads it as a image. This means that you don't have to PRINT SCREEN your screen, save it, and upload it.

This site would do it all for you. You'll simply just press the buttons.

You'd be able to register and have your own album etc.

But basicly, the question I want to ask you guys, is:
- Are there any scripts that records your screen?

Hope you understand what I mean :P

There is software that does this without you having to open a browser window...

[Meti]

Software name: ?

Skitch is a good one.

For one, the TehUpload application does it.

But there are several other ones which are very popular.

Plus meti what would you actually do apart from nothing??

[L?KE]

Meti I have yet to see you produce anything of that nature, and for anyone looking to get involved with this, expect ALL of the workload.

You could do it through msn, they take a screenshot, paste it into msn, msn sends to your site, your site sends back a link

Is this not what Camtasia (http://www.camtasia.com) was created for?

[Meti]

I'm not saying I will do this.
I just said I'll might.

Just wanted to know if this is possible.

Just wanted to know if this is possible.

Using any client-side language such as javascript, no.
Using any server-side web language such as php, no.

I'm pretty sure flash can't monitor win32 based key strokes such as Print-Screen, Scroll Lock, etc, as these are handled by Windows directly when one is pushed.

You can't simulate a keypress in flash (pretty sure), unlike a desktop-based language. Flash can access the clipboard, but then you would have to get it from it..

So basically no...

There's no point in this when other applications already do it.

JamLegend can control F1, F2, F3, F4 & F5? And that's in like Flash.

I said win32 based keystrokes.. how many video games do you see that use F1-F12? About 90% of them as hotkeys.

How many do you see that use PrtScrn/Pause break, etc.. hardly any program does.. because it's too much of a pain to integrate.

Of course I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying that I've been there, and understand how it all works ;P

Flash doesn't have enough access to monitor actual Windows-Generated Keyboard Hooks.

[Meti]

Ok. i guess I won't be able to do this then :P

Thanks for the comments though.
