Get dimensions of a running instance of a program in AIR

I would like to accomplish 2 tasks in AIR:

1. Determine, whether a defined program is running (for example firefox.exe)
2. If its running, then get the current dimensions of its window - i want to make a screenshot of the window, so i'd need other parameters too i g开发者_开发知识库uess: Is it minimized? is it behind some other window?

Is this possible to accomplish in AIR? Im using the latest version (2.6)

No it's not possible out of the box. What you're going to need to do is write a native application in something like C# or C++ and then interface with that application using the NativeProcess API. Here is a video tutorial to something close to what you want to do, and should have you well under way.
