display.captureScreen ( true) question

I’m having a problem with an application that when a screenshot is taken with

[lua] display.captureScreen (true) [/lua]

anything that was moving on the screen freezes - I think I understand why this is the case but I don’t understand how to fix it.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

My game screen is composed of png images using

[lua] display.newImage ( “image.png” ) [/lua]

[import]uid: 10763 topic_id: 4120 reply_id: 304120[/import]

when you use display.captureScreen(true), the screenshot that is created is positioned on top of everything that you see. if you don’t want this to happen, just remove it

local screenShot=display.captureScreen( true )  
screenShot:removeSelf()

tetu! Thank you!! I knew that was the reason it was happening, but I just couldn’t compose the solution.

Thanks for your help!

Where does the screenshot get stored? [import]uid: 1560 topic_id: 4120 reply_id: 13021[/import]

It gets saved into the photo album of the device or on the desktop if it’s running in the simulator. [import]uid: 10763 topic_id: 4120 reply_id: 13029[/import]

Tetu thank you very much!!  You save me! :slight_smile:
