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) [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
