hi john, here a simple solution for finding the correct drive-letter with lingo. this solution requires that the rest of the video-path is exotic enough not to occur accidently a second time on the users computer, otherwise you would have to add a check for the videofile itself to the handler.

lingo-l animating scaling of sprites

Hey all, I'm planning on doing zooms and pans in director or flash with 1024 x 768 images for a screen saver, but are running into problems. Director and Flash are both doing extremely strange things when animating the scaling of an image at all for a zoom effect. Panning is a little better,

Not so fast. The DirectImage Xtra is a good xtra solution, but for a free xtra solution you can use the Sharp Image xtra available at: http://www.sharp-software.com/ I've used both recently, and they performed well. It looks like I'll have to do without the New York contingent on this one. Ok,

Probably, but do you want to save it and retrieve it later, or save it in bitmap form (for another app to read)? If you want to retrieve it later, I guess you could use imaging lingo to go through it pixel by pixel and convert to hex and use fileio to write it out to a text file, then rebuild

Hi Geoff, Unfortunately simply setting the format to #list is not going to work. The gpdl doesn't really accept that and as you've discovered sets the input to be a string. You can work around this however by adding the following line to your beginsprite handler pListOfSubMenusToCheck =
