use-livecode Digest, Vol 163, Issue 13

[Peter Reid]

Hi HH

Thanks for the advice, it was the paintCompression that caused the problem.  In the IDE it defaults to PNG but in the standalone it defaults to RLE instead.  As I didn't set it, the value was the default for the environment!  I simply added:

	set the paintCompression to png

to my preOpenStack handler and the problem was solved!

Thanks very much for solving this.
