Ever wanted to post images with your content to ScriptSpot? There is a link below any "Body" textbox that says "enable rich-text" which will turn on the TinyMCE rich text editor. Once that is up, click the "insert image" button to bring up a upload tool / file manager.

How to: Post code snippets

Submitted by Admin on Tue, 2008-07-15 07:03

You can post code snippets by using a bracketed code tag either [] or <>. However, due to how the code formatting works it cannot be used in conjunction with the ScriptSpot rich-text editor.

So, to post code I'll use the [ code ] tag to start the highlighter and the [ /code ] tag to end it (spaces added so it would display tag - don't use spaces).

Everything works fine but I have no control over the distance between objects being placed on the surface.

I have also seen Paint cloner by andrei kletskov which is great but I can't understand his code since I am still a beginner.

Could anyone plz tell me how I can control the distance using this code I have? Thanks in advanced.

Here is the code I have:
