yes, it is too much trouble to use the actorlist. But I can't only use the dummy
sprite method either, because then the enterFrame
handler would never get passed to the frame scripts. The only thing I have found that
helps is to use the pass method which passes
the event message on up the hierarchy to the next in line.

Subject: Re: <lingo-l> RESEND - creating a handler that executes on every frame
the actorlist method seems like too much trouble.
Since the messaging hierarchy sends enterFrame/exitFrame to every
sprite, use a dummy sprite.
Put an unfilled shape, linewidth = 0 in the score and spread it
across the frames you want to watch.
put an 'on enterFrame me' handler on it & do your Lingo watching ...
