If "tell sprite" is D8 syntax (and it looks like it is), then I can't rely
on it. I've got to support D7 environments.

Hi. I assume you want to use ASP to query info from a database?
It seems to me that the only reason you would wantto use ASP is to
interface between Director and a database on an NT or win2000 server.
If that is your goal, you can do some great things with asp.
You can pass variables to an asp

When you start to have a complex movie, it's harder to track which sprite
visibility has been turned ON or OFF. Once you set it off, the entire sprite
span is set to OFF unless you turn it back ON at some point. It's better to
just move it offstage and bring it back when you need it.
