Why doesn''t somebody just use ONE way to initialize resources? Why don''t they just stick to string or vice versa, arbitary numbers? ---------------------- Always will be smarter than you, --=ME=-- ----------------------

who cares?

Because, it doesn''t seem sensible to me, to use arbitary numbers AND strings. I don''t know why people just stick to ONE way.

Wait a sec. You''re posting in a For Beginners forum and saying a large-scale architecture is silly/confusing/whatever because it doesn''t seem sensible to you? Computers and compilers (including the resource compiler) don''t refer to objects by strings; numbers (identifiers, tokens) are much more efficient, so the string option exists to help programmers like you who do prefer semantic variable names.
