Dist = sqrt((object position x(x)-camx#)^2 + (object position y(x)-camy#)^2 + (object position z(x)-camz#)^2)

That's the formula for calculating distance in a 3d world, where camx#, camy#, and camz# are your camera positions.

Hope this helped you...

Hey Irish Fool, thats nice that you wanna learn, but there is a lot of tutorials in the dark basic directory that can answer a lot of your problems. I think this is your fourth post in a small amount of time? Im not trying to be rude but you will get your answer much faster that way.
cheers
