I got a reasonable facsimile of my original vision by just using an entire substack to define the capture area.
on mouseUp set the blendlevel of stack "untitled 3" to 50 set the loc of stack "untitled 3" to the screenloc go stack "untitled 3" end mouseUp Untitled 3 is a stack with button "exit" and button "snap". The first button just closes the stack. The second button executes the following script. on mouseUp set the cCaptureRect of stack "untitled 3" to the rect of stack "untitled 3" set the loc of stack "untitled 3" to -1000,-1000 close stack "untitled 3" -- wait 200 milliseconds put the cCaptureRect of stack "untitled 3" into tBlerg export snapshot from rect tBlerg to image "captureHolder" of stack "untitled 1" end mouseUp Apparently it takes around 200 milliseconds for the stack window to actually close. At least, sometimes it was still in the way, or only partially faded out when the snapshot was captured. Moving it out of the way, however, seems to happen instantly. The snapshot comes from the inside of the stack window, not including the decorations.
