Function Newbie question...

[Malte Brill]

Hi list,

I wrote a small function that returns the distance between two Points.

Function getDistance x1,y1,x2,y2
  put sqrt((X1 - X2) ^ 2 + (Y1 - Y2) ^ 2) into theDistance
  return theDistance
end getDistance

It works for me if I pass the values to it on a mouseUp event.

on mouseUp
  put item 1 of the loc of graphic "kreis1" into x1
  put item 1 of the loc of graphic "kreis2" into x2
  put item 2 of the loc of graphic "kreis1" into y1
  put item 2 of the loc of graphic "kreis2" into y2
  put getDistance (x1,y1,x2,y2)
end mouseUp

O.K., but if I have more than two objects (lets say about 5). how could I
check the distances between all of them efficiantly?

1->2 2->1
1->3 2->3
1->4 2->4
1->5 2->5 ... 5->4

Using a repeat structure seams not being a good idea to me. So here I am
stuck, as the number of objects I want to check might vary from time to
time.

Any Ideas?
