Mark, oops, didn't scroll far enough. I found the link to Snapper, thanks. Scott, that's great, and thanks for putting that post and stack up so fast. It's a little laggy on my system when it resizes quickly or gets to around 750 pixels. Is it the same on yours?
Is there a way to control other applications from within Livecode? Like, if the user has their browser running, could I bring it to the front, take a screenshot, then send it back behind the stand-alone again? Or is there a parameter in Livecode's screenshot function to only include another application in the screenshot?
