Ha! I figured this out just before seeing this email..this is a match for Scott Rossi's method, which is right from the dictionary on ImageData
on mouseUp put (39 * 4 * 205 ) into tRowsToSkip # takes us down the pixel map 39 rows put tRowsToSkip + (39 *4) +2 into tRedTarget # now we are in the 40th pix for left red value put tRowsToSkip + (39 *4) +3 into tGreenTarget put tRowsToSkip + (39 *4) +4 into tBlueTarget put charToNum(char tRedTarget of the imageData of image id 1110) into tRed put charToNum (char tGreenTarget of the imageData of image id 1110) into tGreen put charToNum(char tBlueTarget of the imageData of image id 1110) into tBlue put (tRed &"," & tGreen &"," & tBlue) end mouseUp Svasti Astu!
