Ignoring the crash that occurs in OSX when you attempt to print a card containing a player object referencing a QT movie, let's say I've overcome that (by developing in OS9 or Windows and assuming that the compiled app doesn't exhibit the crashing problem).
Now I need to develop a workaround. Here's the rough sequence of events I think I'd need to do in order to print the first frame of the movie:
1. select/copy the first frame of the movie. (Don't see a way of doing this in Transcript.)
I do :-)
on mouseup
set the currenttime of player 1 to 0
## rewind to start if necessary...
import snapshot from rect globalloc(the topleft of player 1)& "," & globalloc(the botright of player 1)
end mouseup
Or pick some of these lines ;-)
on mouseup
lock screen
import snapshot from rect globalloc(the topleft of player 1)& "," & globalloc(the botright of player 1)
set the loc of img -1 to the loc of player 1
## adjust the snapshot image, its the last one (layer-wise :-)
hide player 1
unlock screen
## do your print stuff here...
lock screen
delete img -1
show player 1
unlock screen
end mouseup
2. paste that frame (the clipboard) into a selected image object. (seems to be do-able.)
No need to use the clipboard...
3. hide the player object (which does prevent the crash when you print the card). (no problem.)
See above...
Is there a way of scripting the first item within Rev?
Yo, hope that helps...
Thanks, Barry
