CaptureToFile

CaptureToFile Sample Code doesn’t seem to work. I’ve even compiled it and put it on my iPhone. I’ve tried writing my own POC app as well that captures and saves a screenshot locally.

The code:

local baseDir = system.DocumentsDirectory
display.save( display.currentStage, “ScreenShot.jpg”, baseDir )

doesn’t seem to do anything on the iPhone. It definitely doesn’t save anything locally.
Thoughts? Anything I could be doing wrong?
Thanks!

make sure that you have drawn into the display.currentStage
local bkgd = display.newRect( 0, 0, display.stageWidth, display.stageHeight )
bkgd:setFillColor( 128, 0, 0 )

display.currentStage will have the rectangle above in its display list and when saving it will save the render of display.currentStage …
