Would there be a way to ask the Roku what colors are currently drawn on the (ro) screen?
So if for instance, I wanted to determine that the color black "&hFF" didn't exist at any pixel location?


Thanks

I haven't tried it yet, but maybe this will work if you want a single pixel:

pixelRGBAValue = bitmap.GetByteArray (x, y, 1, 1) [0]

Or get the whole array for the whole bitmap and examine each array element in turn to find if any color value appears anywhere in the bitmap.

Thanks belltown, I'll see if that works.

edit:It seems to work, but of course its too slow to be really practical, duh! only 921,000 array entries to check!

         dooda = m.screen.GetByteArray(0, 0, 1280, 720)
	      for each color in dooda
				if color = 0
				return false
				else
				end if
			end for
			return true
