Oops, I never needed to rotate, sorry for the omission. On the original 
webcam morph in Player I am now using "^ self getValueFromCostume: #" 
and "^ self getValueFromCostume:toValue:" on the getters/setters and 
"costume renderedMorph <whatever>" (correct?)  in 
takeSnapshot/updateDisplay. That seems to solve these problems. Atm 
snapshots are getting added to the holder but not displayed so I still 
need to solve that before updating.
