Hello, You should try Edit->Image->Export to image, if that works, OLE should work as well as both share the same code.
Make sure also to use ExportImage OLE call from OUTSIDE of AmiBroker (external .js file). If you attempt to do ExportImage from within indicator code that is currently running, it would create implict loop (export image->refresh->afl execution->export image->refresh->afl execution) and AmiBroker is protected against such deadlock/infinite loop situation.
