A quick test says no. The movie script 'on stopMovie' would have to call the object's 'stopMovie' handler. Or more manageable: it calls the 'stopMovie' in an object that's been kept apprised of the births of the objects... in the Objects' parent scripts: global Census -- the instance of the tracking object on new me Census.newBirth(me) end on stopMovie me Yadda Yadda end in the Census object: property censusList on new me censusList =[] end on newbirth me, newbornName censusList.add(newbornName) end on stopMovie me repeat with x = 1 to censuslist.count censusList[x].stopmovie() end repeat end in the moviescript: on stopMovie Census.stopMovie() end Seat of the pants code. Untested. Good luck. Many possible error conditions not tested or accounted for. -- Carl West [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eisen.home.attbi.com I have no superfluous leisure; my stay must be stolen out of other affairs; but I will attend you awhile. - Isabella, Measure for Measure, Act 3 Scene 1 - [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]).
