Re: Problems with a keyed file read

It isn't actually a problem at all, the file I was reading was an old
version of the file without the key I wanted.

It was my bad, I was just going from the key in the DDS src, when I checked
the object it had a different key ... I recompiled the file and it works
perfectly.

Sorry if I wasted any of your time,
Robert
