What happens if a later entry in the list is a repeat of an earlier entry?

If so, can I check the value of that counter and use it? I can't speak for how Director does it, but you can get the count of a "repeat with i in list" by checking the position of i in the list. Of course, this will not work for lists with duplicate entries. on repeatList aList repeat with i in aList put aList.getPos(i) end repeat end repeatList(["a",1,"b",99,"a"]) -- 1 -- 2 -- 3 -- 4 -- 1 So, I guess you could just increment your own variable. on repeatList aList myCount = 1 repeat with i in aList -- do something myCount = myCount + 1 end repeat end Which just about brings us back to 'using repeat with i = 1 to aList.count' If you want to make it slightly more efficient, store the list count in a variable rather than getting the count on every iteration. cnt = aList.count repeat with i = 1 to cnt -- Mark A.

Just out of curiosity (repeat loop)
In some cases it's convenient to use 'repeat with anItem in aList', to roll through the entries of a list. However, pretty often I realize I need a counter for one reason or other, so i resort to use 'repeat with itemCounter = 1 to aList.count'. I have often wondered if there's a "hidden counter" somewhere that Director uses when counting throough the items using 'repeat with anItem in aList'? If so, can I check the value of that counter and use it? No big deal, just curious. -A.

Re: converting 8.5 files to 8.0
hi, i tried the method of resource edinting, etc. unfortunately it didn't quite work for me, as i ran out of time and could not keep trying something i couldn't be sure to work for me. but: i came up with the desparate idea to simply copying assets from v8.5 to v8.0, and as far as i can remember it worked (with some adjustments to the score) i did it on the computer that v8 installed; downloaded and installed the v8.5 trial version (from the macromedia site), opened the 8.5 file and a new 8.0 movie and started copying! that was definitely the fastest method i can recommend.. if the movies you have to convert are very big / complex, etc. then that is quite probably a long process ;-) [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]).

converting 8.5 files to 8.0
I have a number of Movies in Director 8.5 format that I need to share with my students who only have director 8.0. Does anyone know of a way of converting 8.5 files to 8.0 format...or at least copying groups of cast members or lingo scripts into 8.0 files. I am working on the Mac platform.
