This is one of those classic situations of Director encouraging one to do bad OO design by thinking of the interface first and then working backwards. I don't know what else you need to do but I'd be happier having a year object that deals with all of the days and the sprites that represent them (no behaviors unless I needed to know if a sprite had been clicked in which case I'd add the behavoirs dynamically and have the year object as their ancestor (or at least have a reference to it). This year object would receive one event and check all the days in a repeat loop. Richard At 12:00 AM -0400 6/12/01, Lingo-L Digest wrote: >Hello List, >I have 365 sprites in one frame.
