There is a small subtilty. I think we need to use the (IIRC) mt_rand() function we're using to ensure a repeatable number for the scenery etc. That uses a structure that is seeded and which controls the sequence of random numbesr I think the Nasal layer would need to pass that structure (or a reference to it) across the interface. Probably not too difficult I agree. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerry® mobile platform with sessions, labs & more.
