I think you will have to perform several operations here:
1. convert Hex number to Binary number.
2. find Complement of Binary number.
3. convert Complement to Decimal number.
Your "main problem" is that YOU have to work out the algorhythm to
get the complement as LiveCode does not have that built-in to its system.

Two's complement is a mathematical operation on binary numbers, best known for
its role in computing as a method of signed number representation. For this
reason, it is the most important example of a radix complement.
The two's complement of an N-bit number is defined as its complement with
respect to 2N. For instance, for the three-bit number 010, the two's complement
is 110, because 010 + 110 = 1000.

Well, unless you can explain to me what "2s Complement" means I cannot
help you.

Check out *baseConvert* in the dictionary.
