The Paste action of the Drawing Canvas in asynchronous and requires the system action "Wait for previous action" before completion. Thus if I use a small canvas to paste objects from game layout (like every tick or x ticks) and then move this canvas to display pasted objects elsewhere, everything is black.

It works with every 0.1 seconds, giving the time for the asynchronous pasting, but it flickers.

Thank you for the example, it's simple and straightforward. I used to do this with Rojohound's Paster plugin for Construct 2, but I can't figure out to make it work in one of my C3 project though, where I do lots of Z Elevation changes.

Edit : Finally managed to do it, thanks !
