Before I work until I pass out 3 days from now I'd like to know if that might help me.
Does anyone know of an extension or other way to imprint a part of the screen into an active object allowing that to move as one, that could preferable rotate it too AND add transparency? It's alot to ask for, but it would help so much!

It depends. If the picture of the screen you want is going to change every time, then I have no idea.
If it is a fixed image that never changes, press print screen on the keyboard to take a screenshot and then paste it into the animation editor for your active objects. Then to rotate it you could give it some more directions, have MMF generate the roatated irections for you, then add these events.
+Repeat while left pressed
-set direction(Screen)=Direction+1
+Repeat while right pressed
-set direction(Screen)=Direction-1
or use whatever conditions you need. For transparency, go to properties> ink effect in the active object menu and go to semi-tranparency. You can also change the transparecy in the event editor.
I hope this helps . If not you might wanna try the active picture object. I'm not sure what that can do though.
Yeah SC... I was reading that post and had to rub my eyes to make sure I wasnt so tired where you dont know if your actuley watching or reading somthing or just thinking it. Hey.. it happens.. lol.

= Can any one tell me how to fix this in three days? >>

= I want something that is like pasting image into background, but instead it pastes it onto in active object. Also i need to be able to rotate it and add transparity
That's my interpretation . And the answer is no. I don't know how to do that, but you could always set the position of another object ontop of your active.
I dunno about the imprinting part, but there's a seperate Transparency extension you could use. You could probably fool around with the formulas if you want it to rotate.
Um, what exactly are you trying to do? Maybe there are better ways of doing it...

If it helps, the idea is to make a game where you put together a space ship, the game turns all the parts into a single active object, and then it rotates it so you can fly around in it.

have it so all the parts follow a central point seperately, and rotate them around the central point (using trigonometry or something)

The intent was to limit active object amounts, and simplify destruction.
