Hello all in the Lingo OOP coven-
I ran across an old thread from April on OOP basics. I wish to point out
at this time that I have not been studying it SINCE April...
I have included Irv Kalb's example about accessor methods below. I
understand it. No, really. At the risk of having to go

Tsk Tsk... That's accessing the sprite's properties directly - a definite
no-no for OOP :)
But it can be useful for property manipulation inside the sprite script
itself.

If my behavior has, say, 5 properties I want to access, I'd be tempted
to write an all-round handler like:
on getProperty me, prop
return value(prop)
end
which could be accessed with:
theValueI_need = sendSprite(whateverSprite, #getProperty,
"propertyName")
However, this would seem

You can declare which propNames are "public" and allowed access to

case prop of

I'm not a programmer, (designer only!) and I'm quite hesitant in posing this
question - it must be so basic - but I've been unable to find the answer
anywhere.
The question is: what is the meaning of the characters "me" as in
"me.spriteNum", or "p" as in "pModel"? When does one use these?
Thanks
I'm trying to decide how seriously I should take the school of high
object integrity in Lingo. When I do, I feel I'm doing it for form's
sake. Still, I'm hoping that adhering to these strict and seemingly
silly rules will someday take me to the moment of OOP
enlightenment that

what is the meaning of the characters "me" as in "me.spriteNum"
"me" is a variable that points to an instance of an object in memory (an
'instance' of an object is analogous to the way a sprite is an
'instance' of a castMember). Explaining its use is a little beyond the
scope of a few

Hello all,
I have put together a program where word cast members have puppet
sounds (.wav files) when the user cliks on its sprite counter part on
stage they hear the word, simple enough and it works fine BUT when I
load my PC CD there is NO sound on some machines and sound on
others?
Otherwise you might as well program with movie script
handlers and 500 globals ;)
I once inherited a huge app that was programmed exactly this way (but
far worse than you can imagine), and it was truly four months of
sadness. I would never wish this on anyone.

"me" resides at the heart of the difference between a simple sprite
script and a true behavior. If your behavior handlers end with "me",
they have two good things going for them:

One quick comment. In your original message you mentioned that there
were five different properties that you wanted to get and/or set from
a behavior.
That's a point I had missed.
Still, I was trying to keep it simple, 'cause I've been there...

Clars,
While I obviously fully understand the problem, here's one way to
think of using a parent script. Take any code in your "master"
behavior that doesn't deal directly with putting sprites on the
screen, and make a single global object out of it. So, move things
