iOS Screen Capture

[AyreGuitar]

This is my attempt at the iOS part of the existing Screen Capture object for MMF2.

At the moment all it does is save the whole screen as a PNG to the device's Camera Roll (if device has a camera) or Photo Album folder when the Capture > Screen action is set. It ignores all the properties for the object too (can't figure out how to read the CFile without the original Screen Capture object source code)
Constructive feedback is welcome - hope somebody finds it useful.

Looking forward to adding more functionality - especially saving to other folders, eg Documents and/or Library/Cache so specific files can be loaded into the Active Picture object (which only loads from the bundle currently, as far as I can tell)

BTW this is my first extension!

Enjoy!

Thanks AyerGuitar and tremendous contribution to the community, a good choice for those who like to capture a special moment of the game without touching the button combination of Apple.

Koji - You're welcome - I hope a lot of users find it useful.
Unfortunately looks like I uploaded a slightly older version - sorry!
Try this one (it should capture Landscape properly as other only did Portrait)

NB If black bars appear on the edges of your app on some devices, it'll capture those too (just like pressing Home & Start would), but it doesn't capture the Status Bar (no idea how to get that as well!) - I'm going to use Capture Active Window action to get a screenshot without those black bars, and Capture Frame to get a screenshot that's the same size as your frame in MMF2 (even if you have a retina screen device).

Ayre - I have already said this in the other thread: Awesome!!! Fantastic Job! Thank you.

EDIT: Very cool. I just tried it with a little paint program (just for fun) and it works great! I just put the active picture object in a lower layer and padam! Awesome! I´m currently thinking of a kids book where kids can also paint the hell out of the app as a side feature. Nice extension! Good extension!

Thanks AyreGuitar, updating!

Promising, keep us updated!

KCRuntime is totally different extension

[AyreGuitar]

krolik - I don't get that warning. As Fanotherpg says, KcRuntime is a different extension - make sure it's not in your app before exporting.
As I said, this is my first extension, so I might have made some mistakes!

I am curious as to why my extension (Capture.ext) is 5k where all the others I have in the runtime/iPhone folder are 1k - perhaps other extension developers/Clickteam have an idea?

Thanks a lot Kevin! This is a great feature that opens so many possibilities! Thanks again!

Dude, you just made one of my apps a hell of a lot quicker to make! (Was originally doing it in XCode just for this feature!) PM me your full name so I can thank you in the credits!!
