Are you looking for something like this:

image1 = "IMAGE1.png"

App.focus(r"firefox") #browser example
wait(3) #some time for firefox to start
if exists(image1): #check if the image is visible on the website
    print("Image found on website!")

I know this is not a optimized solution, but just to get a clear view of what you are looking for.

-- Calle's solution shows the principle.

--- more questions

you say: first ,I need to capture the screen in flash
-- is this done manually or do you want this to be done in the script using capture()?

you say: and then compare with another picture in a website
-- do you expect the 2 pictures to be either identical or not?
-- or might they be partially identical and partially not?

you say: compare with two uncertain area
-- I guess: you know the dimensions of your pictures or it might be possible to get the dimensions from the browser window?

-- should capture and compare take place in the same script?

-- how will your workflow be triggered (manually, defined testcases, ...)

One more question:

Will you set this up with Sikuli script (Python) or in Java (or any other Java based (scripting) language like JRuby, Groovy, Scala, ...)?

to Calle Rundgren : I knew this way and sorry this just the half of my question , I need to save this picture and check if it's the same as another windows object just like flash .

to RaiMan :
1. I'm the beginner of using sikuli , for example : picuture A&B , if capture(A) equal capture(B) is ture ,return (there're the same ). Can it make just like this ?
2. there're the almost the same , if not I can make,of cause the dimension I can handle.
3. the workflow should be : do something in flash and then capture A , goto website and capture A' , check . and then repeat.

ok, here you are.

In parts it is pseudo code, that has to be adapted to your needs (#!).

switchApp("the-window-containing-the-flash") #!
flashReg = the-screen-area-containing-the-image #!
refImg = capture(flashReg) # this is a temp file name now
ab = App("the-browser-window") #!
ab.focus()
checkWin = ab.window() # the search area
if checkWin.exists(refImg):
   print "the same"
else:
   print "different"

--- if you want to save the screenshots:

# once at the beginning of your script
import shutil
import os.path
imageDir = "path-to-some-existing-directory" #!

# later in your script:
imgFile = capture(some-region) #!
shutil.move(imgFile, os.path.join(imageDir, "you-name-it.png")) #!
