Import from rect

[Thomas McGrath III]

Jac,

I just don't see the difference...

import snapshot from rect (the rect of img "TEST2") of card "Test" of  
stack "Tester" -- = LOCAL coordinates

and

import snapshot from rect (the rect of img "TEST2" of card "Gradient  
Lab" of stack "LRSGradientText") -- = GLOBAL coordinates

or is it:

the rect someRect of card  = local
and rect someRect  = global

someRect is the same in both cases -- RIGHT

and in the first case start at the topleft of the card even though the  
someRect is the same numbers

but the second case says start from the topleft of the screen even  
though the someRect is the same numbers

IS THIS RIGHT.....

Thanks
