I wonder if the flashing would still occur if you imported the snapshot using the windowID feature as opposed to a global rect. This would only work in Rev 2.5 > where the bug was fixed but maybe it would solve the problem of flashing and still allow you to use the transparency.

I have got a stack here ("Multiple Choice Tutorial"; see my website) that uses integrated "transparent" answer and ask dialogs, where the transparency is produced by taking a snapshot of the rect beneath the dialog, which is then masked by a translucent overlay image to achieve the effect of semi-transparency of the dialogs.
No flashing occurs on WindowsXP with the latest Rev engine of Nov 19th, and none with earlier versions
I compared the scriptlines responsible for taking the snapshots in "GetInLine" and "Multiple Choice Tutorial" and found no relevant differences.
The one difference of the "Multiple Choice" stack is that I set the backdrop. If I remove the backdrop, then I get a flashing, but only at the bottom line of the screen.
The same holds (of course) for your stack. With the backdrop set to any color there is no visible flashing.
Such a workaround is probably not always feasable - depending on the intentions for the design of a stack - and it would be nice to find a general solution of this snapshot-flashing problem.
