I've just tried the un-puppetization then re-puppetization of sprites quite
successfully, like in the test script below. (caveat : with directToStage
videos I don't know how this may work)
The idea is to kept the loc of sprite, unpuppet it to ask him to forgot its
lingo based property changes and re-puppet him immediately and set its new
properties (bypassing this un/repuppetisation already makes me encounter
unpredictable (at last not the ones I've predicted) results)
