about a difficulty with Revolution 2.2 and import/export snapshot :


the computers :
iMac G3
Power Cube G4
PowerBook G4 1MHz

the system :
OS X 10.3.(2 or 3) (french system …)

the difficulty :

the following scripts run quite well with Revolution 2.1.2, Revolution 
2.2RC2 and Revolution 2.2 for Mac OS 9, BUT NOT WITH REVOLUTION 2.2 
UNDER OS X :

on mouseUp
   put the windowID of this stack into savedID
   import snapshot from rectangle (the rect of graphic "graphic 1") of 
stack savedID
end mouseUp

and

on mouseUp
   put the windowID of this stack into savedID
   export snapshot from rect (the rect of graphic "Graphic 1") of window 
savedID to file "Nav.jpg" as JPEG
end mouseUp

Of course, I can use a workaround taking into account the location of 
the window and the location of the graphic into the window in order to 
compute the top,left, right,bottom of the rectangle and then

"export snapshot from rect x,y,z,t to file …"

runs quite well.

But I can't understand why what run right with Revolution 2.2RC2 run 
wrong with Revolution 2.2
