except for #fields, which do not have an image property and picture is the only way to get the image of the field. I don't understand exactly why the access of an field's image is not in director's native code, since the access of the picture property seems to be slower than the one for image. curently you get the image of a field, by working around a longuish, slow way using a temporary bitmap member: on getFieldImage fieldref if ilk(fieldref) <> #member then return 0 if fieldref.type <> #field then return 0 bm = new(#bitmap) bm.picture = fieldref.picture returnImage = bm.image.duplicate() bm.erase() return returnImage end -- ||| ażex -- [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
