lingo-l calculating the point of intersection of two lines

Hi list! I have a mathematical problem that I am not able to solve on my own: Suppose you have two straight lines, defined by two points: Let's say point(x1, y1) and point(x2, y2) for line 1 and point(x3, y3) and point(x4, y4) for line 2. What's the algorithm for calculating the point

You might want to check out Buddy API (http://www.buddyapi.com). Its open function will open a file with the file's associated app (win) or creator (mac). I've found Buddy's open more reliable in general. You get 2 functions for free, so it won't cost ya nothin'. 'Course, it is an xtra, so you

You need to read, not scan, my opinionated volatile alter-ego. No, I'd rather not. That requires far too much effort -- effort I could spend on pontification. LOL. You do have a knack for it. Ok, I'll rise to the bait. Film clips. Vector graphics Vector-based text I'm gonna

Thanks for that, I actualy resorted to BuddyAPI yesterday but my hold on Lingo is so slight that im having trouble understanding how to get it to work (I guess for some of us there's just no hope). If anyone has BuddyAPI and can help me with the basics that would be so good. thanks Matt
