Changing an object's id

[MisterX]

on mouseup
  get the long name of any control
  changecontroltonuid it, 50000
end mouseup

on changecontroltonuid acontrol, nuid
  repeat until it is myid is nuid
  clone acontrol
  if word 3 of it is not nuid then
    delete it
  else
    exit repeat
  end if
end repeat

Funny eh? ;) But it should work ;)
I think only ids of images can be change.
Otherwise, you can use the altid which will overide the id of a control if
queried.

hope it help, hope im not wrong again ;)
cheers
