hey list,

I know there has been some discussion on this list before regarding this
topic but I've searched through the archives and I've not found the posts.  

I'm trying to make a projector grab the desktop with the scrnXtra when it
starts up and then fade to the starting screen of my movie.  I can get
this bit to work but not without the screen flashing black for a brief
moment which breaks the illusion I'm trying to create.

here's the code i'm using in my startmovie script:

--shrink the stage
(the stage).rect = rect(0,0,1,1)
(the stage).drawrect = rect(0,0,1,1)
 
--grab the desktop
 ScreenToMember(  (the deskTopRectList)[1][1],(the
deskTopRectList)[1][2],(the deskTopRectList)[1][3],(the
deskTopRectList)[1][4], 92)

--resize the stage
(the stage).rect =  rect(0,0,640,480) --(the deskTopRectList)[1]
(the stage).drawrect = rect(0,0,640,480) 

I've got a feeling the movie should be saved with stage being 1x1 but I
only get a black screen when I do this with none of my content appearing
at all.

Is there a definitive method of doing this?

thanks for the time,

adam

p.s i'm running macOs 9.1/director 8.5/powerbook g3 (lombard)
