Well, when I make the script it errors like this:

 € There was a Script Compile Error at 11:26:47 AM
Error description:  Handler: bad command
Object: button id 1006 of card id 1002 of stack "/Macintosh HD/Desktop
Folder/MyRev Stacks/TTS Speech Test.rev"
--------------------
import snapshot from rect "28,90,118,128" of window id 475509520
--------------------
Value: 475509520

...but the value IS the value of the current window ID for the stack I
specified, because I checked it.

No other value for the result at all.

I closed out the stacks, even closed Rev, then went back and reopened
everything. Of course, that means the window id changes so I rewrote the
script as shown in the error report (still doesn't work) below. Note the new
window id, which is correct as I checked it separately in the Message Box
(put the windowID of stack "Practice 1").

 € There was an Execution Error at 11:35:47 AM
Error description:  Object: does not have this property
Object: button id 1006 of card id 1002 of stack "/Macintosh HD/Desktop
Folder/MyRev Stacks/TTS Speech Test.rev"
--------------------
import snapshot from rect "28,90,118,128" of window id (windowID of stack
"Practice 1")
--------------------
Value: 447832976

...but of course, the object (stack window) actually DOES have the property
and reports it accurately according to the error dialog.

The command WILL reproduce a SCREEN image given the proper screen rect, but
errors if I try to reproduce an image using coordinates inside the specified
window.

It must be the command that is failing, even though it is apparently written
correctly according to the Transcript Dictionary. Is it a bug?
