Sorry for my slow response, but I'm on holiday and I try to keep away from
my laptop ;)
Allow me to mangle in again,
You assign the image of your cast members to a var - this does NOT create a
reference to the member - so this does NOT manipulate the member in question
in any way.
All you have to do is reassign the data to the image of the member you want
to change when you have completed your manipulation.
You could also directly manipulate the image without intermediate variable -
but it is best to do the former if you do a lot of stuff because vars are
faster.
This way you can also control when the image is updated.
So - after your changes - simply do this:
member(mnum1).image = mnum1
One last remark; try to use more descriptive names for your vars - and use
seperate vars for like for instance your membernums and your images.
That way you can use them later on.
HTH,
Chris (lots of sunshine to you).
