i want to make a thumbnail bitmapped cast member from a digital video(mpeg) running on the director stage. how can i do this.
You need a little bit of imaging lingo for that. Put your video onstage, with DTS turned off (this is important... if it is DTS, you'll just get a box of stage's color where the video is - you can turn DTS back on after the op for performance). Grab the stage's image, then copy the rect where the video is into a bitmap of the size you'd like.
sourceimage = (the stage).image.duplicate()
thumbImage = image(120, 80, 32)
thumbImage.copypixels(sourceimage, thumbImage.rect, rect of the video on stage)
