Bill, Some solutions were posted a while ago for this, I made a copy of one that uses the templateImage so I'm not taking any credit, but here's the script:
on mouseUp put readPixelColor(pLoc) into fld "Colour" -- Where pLoc is a local coordinate e.g. "200,200" end mouseUp function readPixelColor pVal put globalLoc(pVal) into pVal put item 1 of pVal + 1 into item 3 of pVal put item 2 of pVal + 1 into item 4 of pVal export snapshot from rect pVal to templateImage get the imageData of templateImage reset templateImage return byteToNum(char 2 of it) & "," & byteToNum(char 3 of it) & "," & byteToNum(char 4 of it) end readPixelColor and another way posted by Jacque: on getPixelColor pPt put the screenmouseloc into tOldLoc put (item 1 of pPt) + (the left of this stack) into tloc put (item 2 of pPt) + (the top of this stack) into item 2 of tloc set the screenmouseloc to tloc put the mousecolor into tColor set the screenmouseloc to tOldLoc return tColor end getPixelColor It happens so fast the mouse never moves. Based on a suggestion by Dr Raney. HTH Paul On Oct 7, 2014, at 11:50 AM, William Prothero <proth...@earthednet.org> wrote: > Folks: > I’m trying to the the color under an xy location on my stack.
