Hi Jaqueline,

I am trying to load a series of movies into players in a loop, in order to make thumbnails. Inside a repeat loop, I set each player's filename, then take a snapshot of it to get a thumbnail image. This works just fine when I step through it in the debugger.

However, if I let the loop run at its natural speed, I get a bunch of blank snapshots, either because the content isn't fully loaded before the script continues, or because the screen isn't refreshing (I can't tell which.) I need a way to force the loop to wait until the player is fully loaded, and also something that will refresh the screen so that a snapshot has something to take a picture of.

I have tried locking and unlocking the screen to force a redraw, tried "go this card" to force a redraw, tried waiting various amounts of time both with and without messages, tried "set the currentTime of player 1 to the duration of player 1" to force a full load, and everything else I can think of. In no case does the player content display. I am not sure if this is because the screen simply isn't redrawing (likely), or because the content isn't fully loading before the script continues (possible.)

Anyone know how to solve this?

can't you just use Trevors extraordinary EnhancedQT External for this (and other extremely handy) task(s)?
No problems in a loop :-)

And with the new version (already uploaded this one, Trevor?) there is no need for exporting a thumbnail to an external file, just put it into a variable and do whatever you want with the data.
