I tried 'import' first purely because I wanted to bring the snapshot of the
unopened card into the 'home' card rather than export to file, etc.
There are some notes in the dictionary about setting the absolute rectangle
coordinates depending on the target object - it didn't work until I defined

Jacque -
I see Keith is using "import snapshot" and specifying a card. That isn't
in the docs and I always got an error when I tried to specify an object
with "import", I could only specify one with "export".
Ah, that may be it. I almost never use "import", using "export" instead.

I wonder if this is because export snapshot puts the stack in memory, along
with the first card in the stack? Try it with the second card.

Hi Jaque,
Thanks for responding. This is what I ended up with for updating a single
button. I'm quite pleased with the result, because, as there are 'moving parts'
on the visited cards, when I return to the home screen it is updated with
thumbnails reflecting the current 'just left' view of the
That's worth saving in my Livecode Keepers! Someday I am going to make a stack
of this stuff!

Keith,
On preOpen... the control or card isn't open yet and you can't get a screenshot
of it yet. A stacks or card needs to load completely before you can do such
things. A very clear example is e.g. the impossibility to get the dimensions of
a player if the movie of that player is being loaded
Hi folks,
I'm working on a presentation stack, which has a home card with a set of
buttons with thumbnail images (as the icon) that navigate to other cards in the
stack. The other cards are evolving, so I'm trying to create an auto-update
script to renew the navigation button thumbnail icon imag
