Mea culpa -- I didn't mean any offense. When I was referring (for
instance) to perfectionism, I was implying that one could write 10K
lines of code if one wished to, but that the discussion isn't
necessarily germane here (which I believe is more or less what you
said too).
I didn't *receive* your second post until after I'd sent the other
one, so I couldn't take your advice and disregard it. ;)
ANYway I still like the idea of getting a member's image instead of
doing a hard file import. I wonder if that might not be a way to
control color depth.
For instance suppose you only want 8-bit (because they don't suck
silicon like 24-bit do) or 16-bit (because really 16K colors is
pretty good), but you don't know what bitdepth the source images
have. Using the link and member.image code you kicked along, you
could actually dither the colors before you set a new member's image.
Sheeeeoooo... you could even extract alpha masks and store 'em in
separate members.
My golly mon, you could *almost* frickin' make PhotoShop in a projector!
I *really like* the link-and-set-image model. Never occurred to me to use it...
Anyway, sorry for any misunderstanding.
