Hmm... if they're seeking source material at least 900 pixels wide, but

will drop it down to only a published inch in width, then I'd guess they

either have an extremely high-res imagesetter, or someone _very_ practiced

at deblurring images.... ;-)


You can tell her this is a screen based image, and that you can give her a

screen capture at the largest size your monitor can support. (I suspect

this is what they usually do anyway, even though most applications can't

scale like Flash can.) There could be other ways to go, but this would be

the clearest shot.


(Just to be sure, the "300 dpi" is a red herring here... once you're in

pixel land then you can change DPI back and forth all day, because all that

really matters is the number of pixels in the image. Because Flash is a

screen-based tool, rather than a print-based tool, a screen capture would

usually be the most direct way to get images of that approximate size.)
