I have a script that collects an Avatar's key and stores it in the prim description - I can LLGetDescription to retreave the description but how do I convert it back to a key so I can use it to send an IM the avatar?

Hope that makes sense.

key avKey = (key)llGetObjectDesc ();

should do it.

the used technique is called TypeCasting.

string a = "1.234";
float b = (float)a;
