RE: lingo-l Event Order
Oddly, Kerry seemed to forget reading page 402 of my book. I say oddly because he was the technical reviewer on it! ;) Oh, I remember it, all right. Unfortunately, there are still a few wretched souls who haven't be blessed by the [Ockrassa] enlightenment. Bruce Epstein covers event order well in Director in a Nutshell. It hasn't been updated since D7, I believe, but I still use it But, for those of use without the books...

Actually it's not that much of a trick to gain that kind of enlightenment. One can do scripts with put messages as you did, or one can also check out page 395 of the Using Director MX book what comes in da' box wit da' software. It's doc'd in the 8.0 and 8.5 manuals too. Since I don't want to wait 3.72 hours for Apple's Help system to load I won't check the eDocs but I suspect a keyword search for message would turn up a similar list there. Bruce Epstein covers event order well in Director in a Nutshell. It hasn't been updated since D7, I believe, but I still use it Yeah, it's workable as well, of course. You can tell the MACR docs are somewhat dated as they include stepFrame events, which aren't commonly used any more. Ah well.

Re: lingo-l Event Order
Thanks a lot for this info Kerry. I am sure this come in useful for a lot of us. :) Here's something that may be useful: the definitive event order. First the results: -- PrepareMovie -- New frame -- Begin frame -- New Sprite 1 -- Begin Sprite 1 -- New Sprite 2 -- Begin Sprite 2 -- PrepareFrame. Sprite 1 -- PrepareFrame. Sprite 2 -- Prepare frame -- StartMovie -- EnterFrame. Sprite 1 -- EnterFrame. Sprite 2 -- Enter Frame -- ExitFrame. Sprite 1 -- ExitFrame. Sprite 2 -- Exit Frame -- End frame -- PrepareFrame. Sprite 1 -- PrepareFrame. Sprite 2 -- EnterFrame. Sprite 1 -- EnterFrame. Sprite 2 -- ExitFrame. Sprite 1 -- ExitFrame. Sprite 2 -- stopMovie -- end frame script -- End Sprite 1 -- End Sprite 2 First, the movie script: on prepareMovie put PrepareMovie end on startMovie put StartMovie end on stopMovie put stopMovie End Then a frame behavior in frame 1: on beginSprite me put Begin frame end on endSprite me put End frame end on new me put New frame end on prepareFrame me put Prepare frame end on enterFrame me put Enter Frame end on exitFrame me put Exit Frame End Essentially the same behavior on sprites in channels 1 and 2, except they report their sprite number instead of stuff like new frame. And finally, a script on frame 2: n endSprite me put end frame script end on exitFrame me halt End Hope this comes in handy for somebody.
