RE: just a quickie ? what about this ?

Ok thought about another way, this being if I could get the position on the chess board of the current model clicked then I could move the vector of the camera to that location, so using something like this to get the model name: On beginsprite me porigin = point(sprite(spritenum).left,sprite(s

Yes it is, if you modify it a bit: whichline = inString.char[1..offset(lookForString,inString)].line.count Or put in context: on offsetLine(lookForString, inString) whichLine = inString.char[1..offset(lookForString,inString)].line.count return whichLine end Bertil Flink Creative Media [EMA

Re: progress on the repeat loop with list, but still errors ?

Ouch... not sure what you're TRYING to do, but that's not it. Here are some ideas: First, define your list. I'll just copy the list you provided: pieceList = ["CONE01", "ROOKPLY1L", "BISHOPPLY1L", "KNIGHTPLY1L", "KINGPLY1", "QUEENPLY1", "KNIGHTPLY1R", "BISHOPPLY1R", "ROOKPLY1R", "PAWNPLY1_1"
