Thanks for the response. But, actually, my question was whether MC treats numerically-indexed arrays in the usual row-column sense that's used for matrix math. As for the question of buying MC or Revolution, there is nothing about Revolution (as appealing as the face lift is) that can

image protection

I have developed a MC application for one of the instructors. It allows the user to view images from a huge data base. All the images are in various folders on a CD and are imported and displayed individually. The owner of the images has just realized that the images can be easily copied from

Re: image protection

Rick, You can compress (zip) the images using MC's compress command, and then when you read them in, uncompress them using the decompress command. For more security, you can base64encode them as well (reverse with base64decode). Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web

Trigger Stack Toolbox on console machine

is it possible to a) create a stack that will do stuff, globally make changes to files in a directory etc. then save this to a Unix web host, then b) create a cgi that does this: #! /public_html/cgi-bin/trigger_tools.cgi on startup open stack toolbox # assumes stack is in cgi-bin send

Re: bad token: theID, iconNum, theVis, etc.

In an effort not to overlook anything... to share a local variable among several handlers, you must declare it outside of all handlers, and above all the ones meant to share it. Like this: stack script local theTarg on mouseUp put the target into theTarg send thud to me in 1

The jumping script editor scroll sounds like the Shorty George, the Texas Tommy, or the Big Apple... by jump back i mean that apply goes to line 27 where it was going to line 192, and it keeps going back there even after i set explicitVars to false and put all the local theTargand all other
