on new me

return me
end
Seems to work fine in a parent script called from the startMovie event.
Maybe the error lies elsewhere.
There seems to be a syntax error in the line:
> append the actorlist me
Rather: "append the actorList, me" or "(the actorList).append(me)".
I have a vague recollection of a bug with 'append', that only
occurred with old syntax, so maybe it's worth trying the dots.
Are you aware that timeOut-callBack-objects automatically receive
'prepareFrame' and 'exitFrame' events? So for the most purposes you
would not need to use the actorList for objects, that are already
related to a timeOutObject. If you declare the prepareFrame method,
the object will receive this event at the same rate it would receive
stepFrame events. Even updateStage events trigger prepareFrame
events, just as it triggers stepFrame events.
