This isn't really Magic software related, but it would be great if someone answered this. How do you do a screenshot (or whatever it's called) for the PC?
For the Mac it's Ctrl+Command+Alt+4, but I don't know for the PC.

Hit the "Print Screen" button next to the F12 key. Then in whatever you're using for image working open a new document and paste. Ctrl + V is the hotkey for pasteing. Or you may need to use the toolbar command in the program for pasteing.
What if the image is a vector image in Macromedia Flash MX? I need to keep it a vector image so I can resize it at will. If I move it into Photoshop or Paint, it automatically resizes into something really small.

You asked about "print screen". That gives what they call "a screen shot". Something that gamers llike to use to boast about kills and whatnot.
However, to save myself a bunch of typing I've found for you and others a very informative page dealing with "Capturing and Optimizing Screenshots for Print". If you've been messing with graphics any then most of this will seem like a refresher and you may pick up a pointer or two. If you're just getting into working with graphics then you'll want to absorb what's in this as best you can. Some of the tips in it you'll find very useful in other projects.

You can resize things much better in Flash... There isn't any need for photoshop.
Sorry, I haven't been really explaining this correctly (becasue im terrible with computers).
What I mean is that I have an image in Flash. I want to get it into Photoshop so I can make it into a JPEG. But when I copy the image from Flash and paste it in Photoshop, it automatically resizes into something very tiny. It doesn't matter how much I resize it in Flash, it's still that tiny thing in Photoshop.

Hope this helps.
