Well, it was a general description of how to use a single list
instead of many variables using a base name with a 1, 2, 3, etc.
appended to it. Here the text of my earlier message:

this question came up fairly recently -
what you probably want is a proplist with unique names in some way
related to particular spritenums
Irv did a great description last time, so I'll let him find his older
response :)

If that's not what you want to do, then please clarify your question.

My interpretation is that Elvin asked for code like the following:

me.spriteNum)]

Hi Bryan,
totally untested, but the documentation says that selectableRange is
specified like:
myDC.selectableRange = {rangeStart: new Date(2001, 4, 7), rangeEnd: new

Those curly braces are just a short form for creating native Objects in

Hi all,
I've been able to access and set the properties in the dateChooser Flash
component (thanks for the info Valentin), but am now having trouble setting
the selectableRange. I'm sure it's a syntax issue.

Or, something I used to do before I moved away from using globals completely,
was to use properties of a script cast member.
Eg, have a script cast member called "globals".
In that script, you define a pr
in any script member you can put properties and then use function calls to
reference them:
property pFooProp
on pFoo data
if voidP(data) then
return member("globals").script.pFooProp
else
member("globals").script.pFooProp = data
end if
end

pFoo()

you could use one of the Xtras that saves Lingo objects in a file.

Then you'd just have to determine WHEN to restore (optimally just
after that movie clears)
BUT - if they are clearing to get rid of stuff, you run the risk of
