Screenshotting arbitrarily large Flash apps

[schnee]

I recently needed to take screenshots of a Flash application running at a higher resolution than my screen's native resolution. Taking screenshots of a window larger than the screen isn't easy in Windows; here's a list of things that do NOT work:

• PrtScrn
• Alt-PrtScrn (screenshot of the current window; areas outside the screen are cut off)
• GIMP's

No idea how you'd actually go about it, but if you could find an application to set up a very high resolution virtual display, you could then, presumably, take a screen grab of that in one swell foop. Someone out there must've come up with such an application.

Or might I be able to help? Though ISTR you run at 4K, ne? Hazel's native display's 2880x1800, FWIW.

That might work, if such a thing exists! Yeah, you'd think someone would've come up with something like that

I've seen some different modes in regular display adapters that either let you make a desktop bigger than your physical screen or cram a bigger desktop down to fit your smaller screen. The latter was part of a friend's AMD Catalyst options, but I'm not sure which graphics card you have. NVidia? I don't know if they have something similar.

Yes, Nvidia. If there is something similar I've not found it, but it could well exist, buried somewhere.
