No i don't think so, the api for record screen is no public(Adobe used this functionality with Adobe Connect) but is no sharing the API

It's not really possible as far as I know to record the screen to a movie using flash. However, there might be ways to get around it - it all depends on how you do things.

You could take a series of "screenshots" of your app using the draw function and a bitmapData object, encode that to a series of images and do something with them. You would also need to manually capture the sound by generating waveform data and sending it to a sound object (and saving it at the same time) instead of playing it directly. This is not a trivial undertaking however, and it might be easier to build your own "midi" format;

Every time the user pressed a piano button, add an "action" to an array (what key was pressed, what frame/time it happened, any other information you might need). Then you have the user save that array to a file and when they want to "view the song", use the data to "replay" the song (just read every item from the array and fake user input from the data).
