    Can't do any of this with Flash Player.

    Additionally, with screen capture (native and with 3rd party software) available on ANY system, it's IMPOSSIBLE to prevent someone who really wants to, from printing a still frame from your Flash container... javascript or no javascript.

    Honestly, you're wasting time trying to prevent the unpreventable.

    I don't say that out of sarcasm, but to save you the time, effort and frustration that will eventually lead you to abandon this effort as futile.
