It's certainly possible to generate bits on the fly, but a more common
approach is to make a half-dozen background captions of different sizes,

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.

Hi Victor--

Got it!
Special thanks and a tip of the hat to Mark Jonkman--you nailed it, my friend.
There was no bug in imaging Lingo. There were duplicate sprites using the
same cast member. We had them just off-stage (-1, -1), and after we set the
image, we moved one onstage, leaving the other in the upp

Ok, I've verified that:

imgA = image(320, 240, 32)
put imgA

member(1).image = imgA

It appears you're right on that--I just ran some tests, and member image
assignment does not work the same way.

Hi Kerry,
When assigning images to members from the memory buffer, Director
automatically creates a duplicate of the image. However, when reversing the
process, i.e. if you assign the image of a member to an image object, thats
when a pointer is used.
Heres what the message window had to say:

Well, that made a difference--thanks, Kurt.
Before, the faux image was showing up above the stage most of the time. Now
it's inside the stage rect every time--right up at 0,0.

You might still have to set the regpoint again. (Assuming that the duplicate
image is a screen artifact - I don't know what that might be). FWIW, I ten

0 sound ok. I was thinking about if it was set to 1, it might make

The sprite member's centerregpoint is 0.

additionally, it's a new class of internal director objects that
represent images. you can create a new image, or make an object that's
the same as a bitmap cast member, and then modify it on the fly, or make
composite images out of a number of bitmap cast members, etc.

It's new Lingo to create images directly. Check out the movie that comes

QTs don't have an image property AFAIK. I think you'd have to drop it on the
stage, grab the stage image, and go from there.

Hi Kurt,
You can compare images using the "=" operator.

Even if you restrict your "metaballs" to 2D logic you're not going to
get it fast enough in Lingo. Depending upon how comfortable you are
with Math and C++, you could write an Xtra that treats a sprite as
a spring system, mapping the sprite image to a grid, with each grid
