My Merapi ScreenCapture Example

I just checked in my first merapi example to the merapi-examples trunk.
This example was originally created in April of 2008 when merapi was a private alpha.
Those of you who were at 360Flex last week or read this blog often know that merapi is now an open source project that is being hosted at Google code. I posted an announcement about this on May 20.
What is it called?
screencapture/merapi-screencapture-example-flex
screencapture/merapi-screencapture-example-java
What does it do?
It uses the Merapi bridge to take screen shots using an AIR user interface with Java doing the work on the back end.
Where can you find it?
It is in the trunk of the merapi-examples google code project, didn’t you read the first sentence.
Why did I create this?
Just to show how to accomplish things with AIR that are not possible without some 3rd party help. Merapi solves this issue by providing a bridge to a JVM.
What should you do?
Go, check out this project and let me know what you think. Also, please share any additional merapi sample ideas you would like to see.
Where can I get Merapi and build my own examples?

You need to check out the 2 projects from SVN within Eclipse/Flex Builder, one as a Java project and the other as a Flex/AIR project and then run each of them. Note: you will also need to map the jars in the lib folder within the Java project.
If this doesn’t make any sense, please let me know and I’ll create a tutorial on how to do this.

I am using merapi right now and I have realized is not compatible with Flex 4 sdk , am I right or I am doing something wrong.
By the way if I try using sdk 3.4 works perfect , the problem is with sdk 4
I will wait for your comments.
