Hi Paul,

Thanks. That seems to work... putting it into a text fld results in the gibberish I'd expect from a jpeg in ascii form. Putting it into an image object shows the QT player frame and controls, but not the video frame itself...

Exporting to a file, a la the dictionary, didn't seem to do anything. No error reported, but no file made either.

Anyway, progress!

Hi,

Once upon a time I am almost positive that I could grab a screenshot
of the current video frame in a player, and paste it into a scrolling
field.

But I've forgotten how, and no scouring of the dictionary or google
help. Can anyone tell me how it's done?

many thanks.


The only way I have found is using "export snapshot" from the player
object. You first want to lock the screen and hide the controller though
so you only get the current frame. if the player border is an issue, use
the 'from rect' form of export snapshot with the player's rect less the
borderWidth on all sides.
