Look into the "scriptInstanceList" keyword:
put sprite (52).scriptInstanceList
-- [<offspring "change cursor" 1 1266008>, <offspring "tooltip trigger" 1
4ffb28>]
Any behavior attached to a sprite will appear in that list. A sprite with no
behaviors attached will have an empty list (also if you type the above code
in the message window when the movie isn't running). You can add or remove
script instances, by using the usual list operations. I don't know how it
handles gpdl defined properties, but I suppose you could always pass the
values to a custom handler.
One thing to watch out for, don't let the sprite itself add or remove it's
own instances on any sprite event (like exitFrame or mouseUp), because
director cycles through the instance list when the even happens, and
performing such operations will interfere and cause unpredictable results...
I can't be more specific, since I don't use that feautre too often myself,
but I hope that pointed you in the right directon.
