Richmond, "import" of the error message relates to the rect (see the wording in the dictionary), so char 1 means the superfluous quote (as Dame jacque says).
Whatever you test here, you could use 'from rect ZZZZ of this card' or 'from rect of img "border.png"' if you wish to have a local coords shot of 'border.png', else you'll get a *global* coords shot (from the tools window or whatever). Thanks again for your "throwing a spanner in the works" (I like your unusual phrasing and wording), indeed you did exactly the opposite. hh _______________________________________________ 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
