A while ago I had much help involving creating a scaling and alterable line that adjusts it length and angle to meet between two points (just draws a line between ActiveA and ActiveB). But now I need help in figuring out how to create the line between object A and A, between two identical objects. The problem being me being new to MMF2 and can only handle basic loops and simple instances. So my basic question is "Sqr(((X( "ActiveA" )-X( "ActiveB" )) pow 2)+((Y( "ActiveA" )-Y( "ActiveB" )) pow 2))" How can the formula work with identical objects? I'm guessing it would be as simple as searching each one with it's own ID, but how would that work trying to locate the issued ID's within the formula? It's giving me a big headache... All help very much obliged. I anything is unclear feel free to question. n/a

That way, you can easily have multiple (duplicate) objects and lines. I made a simple example here: http://cid-b1e7ee094271bbda.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/LineEg.mfa It uses the ATan2 function, so make sure you open it in the non-HWA version of MMF2 (you can replace it with an angle extension if you prefer). Edit: Apparently the new builds of MMF2-HWA do now support ATan2, so you can ignore that last bit Edited by Sketchy n/a
