Release 1.4 DynamicTexture help

Ok first off I am not an expert programmer or I could fiqure this out but this is the first function I simply can't figure out how to impliment.
What I am trying to do is take the fxGuiSnooper resource and the fxRenderObject resource and by using the DynamicTexture bind the fxGuiSnooper texture to the fxRenderObject texture.
This is what I thought would work
While it compiles fine it won't map the texture to the fxRenderObject.

void fxGuiSnooper::renderWorld(const RectI & updateRect)
{
[b] DynamicTexture *textfx1 = new DynamicTexture( updateRect); [/b]
[b]textfx1->setUpdateRect(updateRect); [/b]
[b]textfx1->storePixels(); [/b]
// Set-up OpenGL for a scene render.
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glDepthFunc(GL_LEQUAL);
glClear(GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glDisable(GL_CULL_FACE);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
dglSetCanonicalState();
// Render Client Scene Graph.
gClientSceneGraph->renderScene();
// Disable Depth Test.
glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
[b]textfx1->restorePixels(); [/b]
[b]textfx1->update(); [/b]
[b]fxRenderObject* fxRenderOb = static_cast<fxRenderObject*>(mAttachedObject); [/b]
[b]TextureHandle tex1;// = fxRenderOb->mTextureHandle; [/b]
[b]tex1 = fxRenderOb->mTextureHandle; [/b]
[b]fxRenderOb->mTextureHandle = tex1; [/b]
}While it compiles fine it won't map the texture to the fxRenderObject.

Are you sure that the this for the object which is calling the mDynamicTexture is valid? If it's wrong then you'll get a garbage mDynamicTexture too.

Your alloc call will result in a valid pointer.Are you sure that the this for the object which is calling the mDynamicTexture is valid? If it's wrong then you'll get a garbage mDynamicTexture too.

mDynamicTexture = new DynamicTexture();
as part of the fxGuiSnooper constuctor. Which I think is probably wrong.
But when called there are 4 steps to use the dynamictexture according to the header.
mDynamicTexture ->setUpdateRect(updateRect);
mDynamicTexture ->storePixels();
//render code
mDynamicTexture ->update();
mDynamicTexture ->restorePixels();
setUpdateRect(updateRect); passes ok
mDynamicTexture ->storePixels(); passes ok
the object renders ok
then mDynamicTexture ->update(); fails with the this as expression cannot be evaluated.
Like I said I am not an expert. I think the problem is on my end. I just don't know what it is.
It's got to be the allocating of the DynamicTexture .
