HowTo:
Export JPEGs
with Director's own Xtras
Get
• ScreenXtra
• Grabber
|
Three ways to take a screenshot
(on MacOS or Windows):
windowref.picture
•
Is a handle to the
offscreen buffer of the stage or a window. With overlaying windows,
it is still the window's picture without any overlay that is taken.
• no cost – Director
7 core functionality
• Export as file: use additional
Xtras
• Cropping with director's
crop command
• Shockwave-save (since
it is an internal function), but only if no file is written
• Director 7 -- Scripts
here.
•
Warning: the stage.picture does NOT work on Windows 95/98 if the
colordepth is set to 24 bit. Other colordepths apparently work.
(see Quirk-list
at updatestage)
ScreenXtra
•
Takes "real" screenshots – overlaying windows are
in the picture, too.
• No cost, even for commercial
products. Obey licensing terms!
• Saves as PICT / BMP,
cast member or writes to the clipboard
• Built-in scaling and
cropping
• If saved as cast member,
further usage inside Director possible.
• The Xtra is not Shockwave-safe
• Director 5,6,7
Grabber

Takes "real" screenshots – overlaying windows are
in the picture, too.

you the same functionality.
