or function which can do a screen capture and then manipulate the result?


create a cast member that will hold the screenshot:

newMember = new(#bitmap)
newMember.name = "Screenshot"

take the screenshot:

newMember.image = (the stage).image

create a thumbnail of for instance 40 x 30 pixels in memory:

thumbImage = image(40, 30, 24)
thumbImage.copyPixels((the stage).image, thumbImage.rect, (the stage).rect)

Do with the thumbnail whatever you what, for instance save it in an existing
cast member:

member("Thumbnail").image = thumbImage
