Not sure if you are looking for a dynamic solution (that is, figure
out which are the flash sprites automatically) or not. But if you
know which ones are flash sprites, you could do something like this
in a frame script (untested):
property plchFlash -- property which is a list of channels of Flash sprites
on beginSprite me
plchFlash = [2, 5, 7, 10] -- Which ever are flash sprites
end
on exitFrame me -- here's where to do the test
nChannels = count(plchFlash)
repeat with i = nChannels down to 1 -- go in reverse order,
because we will be deleting
ch = plchFlash[i]
if not(sprite(ch).playing) then -- this one is done, eliminate it
deleteAt(plchFlash, i)
end if
end repeat
if plchFlash = [] then
go to the frame + 1 -- we done
else
go to the frame -- there are still one or more playing
end if
end
There is probably is a simple way to run through all the sprites and
figure out which are flash, something like:
on beginSprite me
plchFlash = []
repeat with ch = 1 to the lastChannel
if sprite(ch).type = #flash then -- I don't know what the right
thing is here
append(plchFlash, ch)
end if
end repeat
end
Good luck
