I don't believe I have anything that uses brush numbers or IDs, but I did want to comment on the problem with breaking backward compatibility. There is an enormous volume of xTalk stacks out there with some people using them who may have little or even no familiarity with the xTalk scripts themselves. They may have inherited the stack from someone else who wrote the code or perhaps even a number of someone elses. People may be out there running stacks who rely of the number or the id or both who do not subscribe to this email list. I'm not arguing for not making changes or for making changes, just commenting that there is a large invisible community associated with xTalk. Perhaps evidenced by that 3/4 of all LiveCode licenses are free community editions, you just don't know who'd doing what with it. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
