Assigning a displayObject to an imagesheet via display.captureScreen()

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi,
I am letting users select an image from their photolibrary resize and reposition it.Then I am using display.captureScreen() to save the adjusted image to the photolibrary so people can use it later on.
It also returns the screenshot as a displayObject for the user to use immediately.
I create puzzle pieces from the image. I use an imagesheet for the puzzle pieces so the memory does not fill up. It uses 12 identical images from where I mask out the puzzle pieces.

Now I want to use the returned displayObject as an imageSheet so I can use it as a puzzle. Is this possible? Or is there another way I can reuse the image and still be efficient like the imageSheet?

Currently, image sheets require an actual file, so unfortunately you cannot directly use the image from the photo library in an image sheet — I’m logging this as a feature request.

If you really need to optimize memory, then maybe you can try display.save or display.captureScreen to save it to a file, but those may have some shortcomings. [import]uid: 26 topic_id: 30301 reply_id: 121466[/import]

Thanks for the reply.

I will experiment with saving it to the temporary dir.
