Haxe

I presume Flixel doesn't have anything like that built in

I know there's FlxCamera.screen but that's just for blit mode (which I think I don't use)

It didn't when I did it at least - I did it to capture screenshots for testing shaders

this is the capture code <https://github.com/47rooks/parasol/blob/main/tests/src/unit/utils/Capture.hx>

this is the macro that installs it <https://github.com/47rooks/parasol/blob/main/tests/src/unit/macros/InstallCallout.hx>. I suspect this is version dependent - so you'll probably need to check the openfl version

I think the window.readPixels should get with shaders aleady?

I cannot swear to it but I think I tried it

you have to read at the right time - I think that was my biggest issue

I'm still baffled why game bar is getting old snaps

Thanks for the code, will have to dig into that later

I also found FlxScreenGrab but that doesn't seem to work

yeah from there you have access at the right time

up in flixel it's harder to get access - at least I think that's the main issue

but I could get there going just into openfl - didn't need to go to lime thankfully

yeah FlxScreenGrab I think I tried and it didn't work for me either

```hx
FlxG.stage.window.onKeyDown.add((code, modifier) ->
{
    if (code == A)
    {
        // get the data
        var image_pixels = FlxG.stage.window.readPixels(new Rectangle(0, 0, FlxG.stage.window.width, FlxG.stage.window.height));
        var image_bytes = image_pixels.encode();

        // write the data to disk
        var file = sys.io.File.write("test.png", true);
        file.writeBytes(image_bytes, 0, image_bytes.length);
        file.close();
    }
});```

I'll have to revisit that - I could not get it to work when I tried
