Just to set the relation: we are talking about an action that takes about 1 millionth of a second. (w2k, Athlon 800 TB). (In that time the earth travels about 3 cm on her path around the sun.) I did some minor test and the speed differences are not that big at all. Accessing the declared property spriteNum takes about 3/4 of the time to access me.spriteNum. Accessing sprite(spriteNum) takes about twice as long than accessing the declared property mySprite. best regards daniel plaenitz [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
