finding plugin orgin in a window

[jteally]

is there a function for finding the origin of a flash plugin in a browser window with c++? i'm attempting to take a screen shot of simply the flash game, and i know i can do it by manually finding the origin and bounding a rectangle that way, but is there a way to dynamically find the plugin origin (the top left corner) without having to reset my bounds every time i move the target window? that method seems sloppy/unreliable to me.

thanks in advance,
jesse

I think this is operating system dependent. On windows, the flash player should be some kind of 'window', all you have to do then is to find that window and take a snapshot of it (I think there are programs that can help you to find properties that identify such a window).
