Curiously the regpoint of > a member has no problem when ajusted to less than that value. It's just because they use 16-bit integers for these loc co-ordinates. Since there is no real-world reason to ever need loc's that are outside the range -32768 to +32767 (since no monitor is that size), I would assume that MM have decided not to add the extra memory requirements of 32-bit integers for these values. If it's a problem, you can alwatys store an internal loc property with a floating-point value, and just crop it manually. This is also a handy way of doing less-than-1-pixel-per-frame movements. - Robert [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]).
