Thanks to all for the explanations and suggestions. The common thread seems to be to use preOpenStack rather than preOpenCard so I'll move my code there and see what happens. Pete lcSQL Software On Sat, Sep 22, 2012 at 11:51 AM, Scott Rossi wrote: > FWIW, in most cases a

FWIW, in most cases a preOpenStack or preOpenCard handler in the card script of the first card should be enough to position/orient a stack. If you try to set stack properties like windowShape or shadow, those actions can cause the stack to become visible before positioning takes place because they

Hi Scott, I've narrowed the problem: It turns out that I was growing hollow ovals whereas yours is opaque. If you set the opaque of the oval of your ovaltest stack to false and give it a linesize of about 25, you'll see the problem. Sorry for not appreciating the difference sooner. Thanks ver

Hi Graham, export snapshot from rect (the rect of control x) to myVar as JPEG set the text of img y to myVar However, since you're exporting an image, why don't you put img x into img y? You could also use the import snapshot command, which creates a new image. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewill

Thanks Richmond, I'll give that a try. I'm also unsure as to whether lock screen has any effect in the preOpenxxx handlers since the screen isn't even displayed at that point. But I guess it can't do any harm. Pete lcSQL Software On Sat, Sep 22, 2012 at 10:41 AM, Richmon

Hi Mark Thanks for the reply. If I don't want to invoke the filing system (and I don't), then how can I make a new image out of my exported rect? A variable isn't an image, after all - and yet the snapshot is nothing but a bitmap really. I know there are other ways of creating images extracted
