A Screen Camera in Java
Today I wrote a little class that allows to repeatedly capture the screen content and write the result to a flash file. It created a flash video with one frame per second (this is a bit crude) with one frame per screen shot taken. It is based on JavaSWF2 a nice wrapper around the SWF file format. To run you need to get the JavaSWF2 jarfile. Then you go:
camera = new ScreenCamera(new File("test.swf"));
doStuff();
camera.takeScreenShot();
doMoreStuff();
camera.takeScreenShot();
camera.close();
It might be useful for testing and creating tutorials.
JavaSWF2 is a set of Java packages that enable the parsing, manipulation and generation of the Macromedia Flash(TM) file format known as SWF ("swiff").
JavaSWF2 is available as Java source code under the JavaSWF2-BSD License - which is a BSD License that is compatible with the GPL.
