Hi,
Is there any way to use an image to appear on the squares in the repel effect file I’ve submitted?
I like to use some transparency on the image too.
Thank you

Well done stringy.
Is there any way to use transparency on the image like you can on fills? Like I have [here](http://members.cox.net/hamidb4/saat31.swf).

I knew that already. That is my page which if you refresh it, you’ll see 12 buttons(1 to 12 on the clock).
Let me see if I can explain it better. Say, I had an image (jpg, bmp, gif, etc.)and I wanted to make it 50% transparent. Is there any way of doing that?
Thank you.

There you go stringy. Great. It must be my age messing with me.
You have been very helpful. Thank you.
BTW/ if you have php server w/apachi installed on your computer, I have a question on the server-side for you. [Link](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70107)

sorry i can`t really help you; i do have apachi but it was a hit/miss affair installing-i don`t know much about it.
Could i ask where you got the code for the grid movement-looks like something Keith Peters (Bit101) might have done; same variable names and same style.

stringy,
I certainly could if you explain to me what grid movement you are talking about.
