ScreenCapture Object [Request]

[Sphax]

Is it possible to add the option to capture a specific layer ?

Like that we can capture screen of a game without GUI and without hide/capture/show GUI (flash is not good looking).

...By hiding the other layers first.

[Sphax]

Yes but hiding layers take one or two loops... So it's impossible to take screenshot in a fastloop without flashing screen...

[Joshtek]

Using the "redraw frame" action may help (it is part of the Fast Loop object), but there is only so much which can be done.

[Sphax]

"redraw frame" action tell MMF to redraw frame and it will be at the end of the current loop. So it's the same problem.

It would be really difficult to add an option to capture a single layer, sorry.

Yves.

[Sphax]

Maybe an option to capture layer 1 without other layers ?

all we need is a "nodraw" flag in the frame actions which stops drawing the frame.
