A certain stack is closed and I want to delete it in a script. My code looks like: if vgName is not among the lines of the openStacks then if exists(stack vgName) then delete stack vgName end if end if This causes a "can't delete object" error when run at the delete st

revVideoFrameImage pause

It seems that the revVideoFrameImage command takes a noticeable amount of time - like a quarter of a second or more - to work. If you are doing other things during that time, like text input, it is very noticeable because your other interaction pauses. What I'm trying to do is capture a frame eve

ted it has gotten. But weirdest of all - it worked one time! But I couldn't repeat it after that. Also, sometimes the revCloseVideoGrabber that I call when I close the video grabber window (in closeStack) does not seem to get sent and I need to invoke it manually. Thanks, doug > >

I have a question for you experts. I basically copied scripts from the sample video stack (where this works correctly), and most of it seems to be working in my stack. But when I try to grab a frame from the video grabber window it does not display in the target image after I use the "set imageDat
