Model for MC component sharing?

[Phil Davis]

Here's a link to a site for Java component-based development (CBD) that
parallels what some of us have talked about or thought about:

http://www.flashline.com/

The site has many useful parts, all working to promote and support Java CBD.
I thought it might be a useful example or model of what can be done to
promote the same kind of thing with MC "components".

Food for thought...

Phil Davis

Thanks for the clarification.  I've known folks who spent up to $5,000 on
externals with Rinaldi to ship a single product, but I'm glad to hear that
for the few non-commercial user on this list those are still as free as most
other XCMDs.

Yes, but only if the image is the of a width and height such that it can be
used as a pattern.  You can set the backPattern property of a curve or
polygon and change the points.  To recap on the rules for images used as
patterns:

Pattern images can be color or black-and-white. To be used on MacOS
systems, patterns must be 128x128 pixels or less, and both height and width
must be a power of 2. To be used on Windows and Unix systems, height and
width must be divisible by 8.

Kevin
