RE: lingo-l BaFileList() and .sort

If you can't pad the numbers, I think what you need is a natural sort...kinda the way php does it: http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.natsort.php Kerry's option may also work well, and faster than an implementation of how php does it...especially if you have to code such a thing in lingo.

RE: lingo-l BaFileList() and .sort

That's what I would have suggested, unfortunately he can't renumber the files. Which brings up another question: Anybody have good efficient lingo utilities for doing different types of sorting? Uhoh, I feel the a flashback coming on...DFS, BFS, red-black BSTs, bubblesorts, mergesorts, oh my!

RE: lingo-l scaling down image objects in real time

Hi Luiz, Create a blank bitmap member in your cast. Use copypixels to copy from the image of one member into a smaller rect of the blank bitmap's image. Untested Email lingo: --grab image of source sourceImg = sourceMember.image --grab rect of source sourceRect = sourceMember.rect
