Silly Text Field Question

I know I'm missing the obvious but I just can't figure out how to get the following behaviour with text fields... 1. When the user presses the tab key on the keyboard, the next field is selected and the current content of the next field is selected (so any typing replaces all the content). 2.

Fast Algorithm to Determine Average Brightness of an Image

Use Case: I want to place puzzle tiles on top of an image. We take a field, put a grc behind it, take a snapshot, crop each word off at -1000, -1000 and then scramble the tiles to make a puzzle… all this works really well. So I decided to dress it up a bit more: we dynamically choose a color fo

Hi Sannyasin, Based on my previous experiences trying to process images with LC pixel by pixel, I would have to say no. LC is too slow for this kind of processing. You would probably have to use a routine written in some other language like Objective C, or C++, etc. If anyone else has had a diff

How to extract specific columns/line items from a CSV file?
