Is there a way to save my Imagination at work sketch? Not that I don't trust GE to save my artwork for all time, but I don't. [mi]

Um, screencapture?

Also, you could just get a wacom pen and draw without the corporate sponsorship placement in any art or photo program; though this flash page with the logo does have a nice Warhol touch.

Response by poster: I already tried the obvious: saving the page in my browser. No dice. I'd consider saving it as a video file if such were possible.

I realize I can do a screenshot, but the niftiness lies in the drawing, not the end result.

Maybe try the scrapbook extension for Firefox... it can save pages really well, I saved local pages from my benefits resources webpage, (really encrypted, frequently times out before I can get all the info, and messes up when I hit the browser back button) - I have local copies of everything I need now. I didn't try the regular save as feature though.gt

Until I saw that I was going to suggest using the "send" button to email it to yourself. You're looking for a movie file of you actually doing the drawing?

try an application named fraps. it is usually used for games, but i think it'd work here too

oooh.... I know that SnagIt 7 will allow you to capture an AVI of whatever it is you're doing.... it should be able to do what you want.
