Hi Theo--
You can move sprites around the stage pretty easily. I'd set up some
dummy sprites--make a single-pixel bitmap, place a bunch of instances on
the stage, then move them off-stage in your prepareMovie handler.
Then, as you want to place a sprite on the stage, you can use this:
sprite(x).member = member("whatever")
sprite(x).locH = 100
sprite(x).locV = 100
Just keep track of the channels you are using in a list. You'll need
some mechanism to keep track of the sprite locations, too (you won't
want them all to appear at 100, 100).
To move them around, you don't need to change frames. Just do something
like this:
sprite(x).locH = sprite(x).locH + someOffset
Does that help?
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
p.s.: Hope this doesn't come through as html--I just changed e-mail
programs, and I haven't figured out where you set plain text in Outlook
on the Mac.
