You can do it with metamethods. See the "__newindex" example in the docs:

InvertPalette() doesn't seem to work correctly. It changes colors to ARGB values instead of RGB or something like that. CreatePalette(1, #PALETTE_MONOCHROME) t = GetAttribute(#PALETTE, 1, #ATTRPALETTE) DebugPrint(HexStr(t[0]), HexStr(t[1])) InvertPalette(1) t = GetAttribute(#PALETTE, 1, #ATTRPALETTE...

I get a hit in the MorphOS debug log if I try to use SetClipboard() with a palette brush, and the resulting image is always a solid wrongly colored image (if you check from the Clipboards dir, for example).

But if I try to make an option in the paint program to draw a transparent it will draw a it with dots along the line whenever a new line takes over from the previous piece of the line. Line(oldx, oldy, newx, newy, COLOUR, {Transparency = transparencyvariable, Thickness = R}) Is there a way to avoid...

In some cases GetAttribute() reports brush depth as 0 bits. The documentation tells "Returns the depth of the brush. If this is less than or equal to 8, the brush is a palette brush." So, I was detecting brushes as palette brushes if their depth was less than 9, but got issues because some...

I haven't tried all similar functions, so it might affect to others too, but at least PerspectiveDistortBrush() and PolarDistortBrush() crash the whole Hollywood application if I use the "smooth" option with palette based images. Functions do work fine if that option isn't enabled. I've te...

I really would fix the code instead, and organize it better. DisableLineHook() should only be used briefly and controlled way. If you're branching out from functions without returning them later to get things finished, you'll may get all other kind of issues too. Running out of stack etc..

Nice and easy solution, not everything should be offered by Hollywood itself when you can do your own custom features when you need them, that's called "programming"

ItemVar = Mytable[n] If Mytable[n] isn't a sub-table, there's no way to find relationship between ItemVar and it. If Mytable[n] contains a string, number, or any other kind of data that is not a table, ItemVar stores an independent copy of the data from Mytable[n]. If you delete the whole Mytable t...

FreeBrush() frees the brush data from memory immediately, so in that loop you're having only one brush in memory at once. The local ID variable is being replaced on every round and memory reserved for the previous ID value is freed by the garbage collector at some point, but it's not that many bytes...
