Thanks, James. It looks like your IL routine may do the trick--I'll try it and report back. The circumstances are that we need to convert Director score animations to .bnk files (.bnk, also called bink, is a standard animation format). I need to step through the score frame by frame, saving out the sprites to .png files, then run those files through the bink program. Eventually, those bink animations are going to be used in a C++ program. Time isn't an issue. This can run all night if need be. Chances are, once I get it running, we'll put it on the 500 MHz PII over in the corner and let it chug away. Cordially, Kerry Thompson [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [email protected] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
