Good idea, but these are all different players, each created on the fly 
as needed. It is looking to me like a combination of both OS X, which 
doesn't refresh the screen very often, and the Rev engine, which doesn't 
like to refresh the screen at all during a tight loop. Each player is on 
a different card, newly created and then loaded. But the screen isn't 
refreshing, so the snapshot takes a picture of nothing but the white 
space where the player should be. Stepping through the debugger works, 
because that forces the screen to refresh after each line of script. I 
need to do that inside the loop.
