using mmf2 to save an image file (preferably jpg)
Hi guys,
I have a specific problem regarding exporting an image from MMF2 at runtime. What I would like to do, is be able to save the entire frame which is 1500x1500 pixels(I know - big!. The screen resolution is set to 1024x768 at 16bit color.
Is there are any object or method available that will allow me to export the ENTIRE 1500x1500 frame to a jpg file?
Many thanks in advance,
-Mel.

Worst case, scroll the frame in chunks and screen capture each chunk. Then stitch the image together afterwards - you're more likely to get an extension to stitch it for you than capture it in entirety.

I tried something along those lines.. I could never get it to stich up properly. Sometimes it would work, othertimes it would be slightly out of sync.
I kinda need it picture perfect, and able to be reimported as a single file (Again preferably jpeg).
I'm sure someone must have created an extension that could screendump the entire frame as a different format?
Thanks for the suggestion though, Sarah. I appreciate it. <img src="/center/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Did you use the Overlay Redux to stitch it up?

Nope.. I've been looking into OVerlay Redaux just now actually.. I've never used it before so in fairness I don't really know what I'm doing here..
Any pointers?

If you fail to find it I am probably allowed to send it to you... I myself have forgotten where it came from.
Is Overlay Redux ''the'' overlay object or is a different version?

Hi Raytrace, no I think they're both the same thing. I have it, I just don't really know what to do with it..
I havn't really grasped the purpose of what it does.. Especially how I'm gona use it to stitch a picture together! LOL

OK, I haven't used it much in this area (and not in MMF2), but you can paste an image into it at a specific point. You can also save out an image.
So with those two features plus scrolling and the Screen Capture object - something must be possible.
