Hi,

I want to access Allegro Datafile properties for objects in a Datafile. How
do I do this? The documentation is extremely obscure on this point. What I
want to do is to read the "XSIZ" and "YSIZ" properties for a datafile
object so that I can use these values as integers in the code that will
handle that particular datafile object.

For instance, if a RLE sprite object has an XSIZ property of 25, I want to
get access to that value so that I can stop the animation of the object
before it starts scrolling off the screen on the right.

Thus: How do I access the values of the XSIZ and YSIZ  properties for a
certain selected object in an Allegro Datafile? 

Please reply by email if at all possible.

Fanx!
