First issue: Did you set your "communication" script type to a Parent
script? It may be set to a Movie script in which case it will act as a
parent script but all it's handlers will be accessed pubicly, which you do
not want.

Second question: If your parent script is called "communication" then
something weird is happening here as your object reference shoudl read
<offspring "communication" 3 91076e8>. Maybe it's an email typo?

Yeah, this one is weird to me. I would not have thought that a
sendallsprites command could access Movie Script handlers. Hmmmm. If you set
your "communication" script type to parent this will no longer be a problem.
