I have prefs set to write the js to an external doc, but I didn't 
know about flattening the script library - thank you. I have a way to 
go in learning GoLive, I can see which book I'll be buying -:)  With 
Photoshop/Image Ready and now Smart Objects in GoLive, I'm spoilt for 
choice on the image processing side!

Cheers.
