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.
