I'm not sure why you can't put your code in frame 2 instead of frame 1? It's usually a good idea to allow 1 or 2 frames for Director to catch up, after loading a movie. Please note: If you are affecting another sprite in your "beginSprite" handler, the other sprite needs to already be instanc

If you already know the number of the sprite you are interested in, you could also do a repeated check of that sprite using "the rollover", like ckeckin for sprite 5: on exitFrame me currentSprite = the rollover if currentSprite = 5 then -- do something with the color end if end
