Slava,
sounds like sprites in lower channel #'s are trying to do stuff to
sprites in a higher channel # before they are initialized. maybe
spread the sprites over 2 (or more) frames & have a frame script in
the 2nd frame that starts up all the things you want to do. that way
_all_ the sprites are properly inited first.
another possibility is to have the sprites all register themselves in
a list as they come alive & then only send stuff to members of this
list.
just some ideas to point you on your way this 4th of July...
