Imaging Lingo 2 response1
Yes, the destination member did return an error in the paint editor, but when I allowed it to continue (making it editable in the paint window), the results were still the same. I did the same thing with the source image, with no results. >Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2001 21:34:35 -0400 >From: Colin Holgate <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: Imaging Lingo 2 > >There are some things about your code that make it seem odd.

RE: imaging Lingo challenge: resizable speech bubble
I guess you could use imaging lingo for this but I *think* it is just better to use a vector cast member... The advantage to this is that you can scale it without loss of quality... Simply have a *reference* bubble and depending on the text size scale it accordingly.

imaging Lingo challenge: resizable speech bubble
I'm sure this is child's play for some of you guys, but my geometry (and my imaging Lingo expertise) fail here. I want to create speech bubbles on the fly around my text, sized to fit around the text sprite. Is imaging Lingo the way to go? Are there other ways? Someone must have done this, it seems like a commonly useful thing to have. I'll always know the size of my text sprite, of course. But how do I draw a complete speech bubble around it, including that pointed end?

MovieRate and Tempo channel
Hi, I have aan AVI movie., and I have in the tempo channel a "Wait for end of MOV1" tempo setting that works fine. But I also have control buttons (play, pause, RW, FW) that also work fine except that: when the Pause button is clicked, the movie pauses but the tempo channel considers that as the end of the movie and lets the playback head continue its way. The script of the Pause button is: on mouseUp me sprite(x).movierate = 0 end Any help welcomed.
