If you want to know which "pixel" is on in a row, you could treat them as binary bits. Farthest right in a row is bit 1, next to the left is bit 2.. So your buttons could be 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 for a total of 21 which would

Hi Graham, In commercial versions of LiveCode, the default behaviour of the Internet library (libUrl) is to include and use tsNet. It calls tsNetInit on startup so that you don’t need to do that separately. Hope that helps, Charles > On 5 Mar 2018, at 7:21 pm, Graham Samuel via use-livecode
