>There is no need to have 700-800 (WOW) pictures, You must have 3 - free seat, booked seat and sold seat and use them in image control or in command button according of that what is the status of the seat.

you are right !!!
But how should I place at the beginning the 800 single pictures among the theatre ? I'll get into the same problem i have with the collection of shape object. I have problem with the rotation.... It would be over if I could rotate the container object but I cannot. :-)
