Thank you v. much for your help, Melitón Cardona Torres and J. Landman Gay;
I realised about 2 seconds after I had sent off that message that I had a silly "the" in there. But, as usual, I ran up against another something: put charToNum(char 10 of the mask of img"GOTTIT") into fld "fNEW" returns nothing - presumably because img "GOTTIT" doesn't have a mask. A few years back I made some non-rectangular stacks using a background image and a mask of the same size; however, as far as I remember both of them were JPEG images (the mask being a 2-bit jpeg) - now that doesn't seem to be what I imagined as MASK when referring to GIF images. I would like to import a snapshot of something that lies on a layer over a white background, and then having set the snapshot's white portions to TRANSPARENT [and, I have got that far !], export the resultant image as either a GIF or PNG, retaining the transparency: that is where I am falling on my nose. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
