Hi Eric, You are creating a great series of small "How-To" for this development platform.!!! This is a great service for beginners and a nice organized reference for experienced developers. A welcome addition would be to include references to similar works made by other developers. In this way, readers can keep looking for more examples and code in the topics of their interest. By the way, i noticed that you mentioned that animated gif could not be resized. Here is one way to do it: From: http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/metacard/2003-February/004158.html 1) In the message box write: Create image This empty image will appear in the center of the topstack. 2)Resize this empty image to the size that you want the animated gif to have and set the locklocation of it to true. 3)Set the filename of the image to the name of your animated gif. Voila! You have an animated gif resized. Remember that you could move this "locked" image to any place that you want, for example, put this code in the script of the image: on mouseup set the cursor to none repeat until the mouseclick() -- set the loc of me to the mouseloc grab me end repeat set the cursor to hand end mouseup Of course, you could use the keyboard to move the image or move it to the points of a polygon graphic. al Visit my site: http://www.geocities.com/capellan2000/ --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
