This is a hard one to debug, because it works just fine in the IDE. But it

In the IDE, I grab a video frame and create an image in a stack containing
that frame. Works just fine.
But in the standalone app, just a white image appears.
I am including the video library ("other") and the video grabber window itself works just fine in the standalone app.
Are there any general guidelines about what the IDE environment knows vs
what the standalone app knows that might help debug something like this?
One thing that we run into as Rev developers is that the Rev IDE is not really a discrete, separate app compared with the app under development. This results in weird stuff where the IDE like "go previous" opening up an IDE stack window instead of your app's stack window. Or the IDE asking you if you want to save some stack that is part of the IDE and not part of your app. Aside from this nebulous and annoying problem, here are some things that come to mind:
- the "startup" handler is not called in the development environment, but is called in a standalone.
- standalones have no error handling (see docs re: errorDialog message)
- IDE has all of the xml, database, video, etc. libraries already available, ready to go, but in standalones you have to arrange it yourself either through the distribution builder or through "the externals" property or "start using" for library stacks.
I haven't used the videograbber tools at all so can't offer any ideas on that.
