Hey, and are you sure that you can set the camera of a sprite within a
MIAW to a camera contained in a member owned by the stage? If I could
do that, it would really speed up my image capturing problem, as I
could capture the image of a small window rather than my whole big
stage. But I tried various ways to set the camera in my MIAW with no
success. Here is a script I tried:
tell window "@:files:LensView.dir" to sprite(1).camera=(the
stage).member("head").camera ("Camera2")
This doesn't work at all, I get "Handler not found in object" error.
Have you actually done this? What is the right syntax?
Thanks,
Carl
