Unfortunately my pull request implementing rugged id was rejected. That would have worked well for you. You can always implement a ruggedIDfromLongID function in LiveCode. The other thing is the problem seems to be more in how you are storing your long ids rather than the actual long id. Do you have them as an item in a list?
