Import snapshot snafu

Howdy, I have two stacks open. This button is in the second stack and the image I want to collect is in the first: on mouseUp import snapshot from rect "28,90,118,128" of window id 475519808 end mouseUp Why doesn't it work? TIA, Ken N. ___ use-rev

Judy, insert a "put" or "answer" statement in your arrowKey script so you can see if it is actually being called. Also, check the settings for textArrows and navigationArrows. They may have no effect but it is worth checking. Cheers, Sarah On Friday, March 7, 2003, at 11:25 am, Judy Perry wrot

I think it might partly be a GraphicConverter in OS X problem. Chipp sent me a test image which works perfectly in Rev but looks weird when opened in GC. I upgraded to GC 4.5.1 and his image now works fine, but doesn't look as if any color is set to transparent. My images still aren't working c

Use a mouseDoubleDown handler. If the interval between clicks is too short, it gets trapped as a mouseDoubleDown (& Up) message but if you put your grab script in a mouseDoubleDown handler, it should work as you expect. Cheers, Sarah On Friday, March 7, 2003, at 10:30 am, Scott Slaugh wrote:

Judy, I can't see where you set theXcoord and theYCoord initially. Try inserting these lines before the "switch" statement: put item 1 of the loc of btn "Fish" into theXCoord put item 2 of the loc of btn "Fish" into theYCoord It seems a bit illogical that you are using left & right arrows to m
