Is there a way to extract the status of a flash object with javascript?

I want to extract the actual visual state of a flash object and to get the contents of the current frame with javascript. Then I want to be able to reapply this state to a different Flash object on a separate page, so that the new Flash object looks exactly the same as the original. HTML5 canvas lets you do this easily, but can this be done with Flash? Note that I do not have control of the page that has the Flash content, but my Javascript will be included on the page.


This might help you out, assuming you control the flash JS screenshot flash movie
