Jacqueline:
Thanks for responding. I can’t reproduce the problem with my test
stack, which works fine. My actual application is more complicated,
and has a fairly large map image. So, I’m wondering if that might be
the cause and I’ll have to make some tests. RC3 worked initially, but
began failing intermittently after a few seconds using the app.
Incidentally, unless I put a “wait 0.1 seconds with messages” before
the snapshot command, neither 6.6 or 6.6.2RC3 works. I tried the
try/catch (no errors thrown( and putting the result, which always
returns a rect of the capture region, it seems.
The code I use for my application is:
on copyMapToSnap
put the name of me into thisImage
set the visible of thisImage to FALSE
wait for 0.1 seconds with messages
--wait for 1 seconds with messages
put the rect of this stack into stackRect
put rectLeft(stackRect)&","&rectTop(stackRect) into theOffset
--this is the point at the topleft of the stack window
put the rect of graphic "MapBox" into theRect --This is relative
to the stack
put offsetRect(theRect,theOffset) into snapRect--offset the
capture rect to absolute screen coordinates
put adjustSizeOfRect(snapRect,1,1,-1,-1) into snapRect --remove
border of grahics box
--wait for 0.1 seconds with messages
--wait for 1 seconds --with messages
--try
export snapshot from rect snapRect to image "mapSnap"
--catch theError
--answer theError
-- end try
put the result
--wait for 0.1 seconds with messages
--wait for 1.1 seconds
put adjustSizeOfRect(theRect,1,1,-1,-1) into snapRect --theRect
is relative to the stack
set the rect of image "mapSnap" to snapRect --now set the
captured rect to the mapbox rect
wait for 0 seconds with messages
set the visible of thisImage to TRUE
end copyMapToSnap
In the absence of ideas from this list, I’m going to try adding some
complexity to the test stack and see if I can find what causes the
failure.
Best,
Bill
