I think I found a way to corrupt a cast--in this case, a cast consisting of
some 150 scripts and nothing else. Two of the members in my cast are linked
externally, and those are the ones that begin to act abnormally: their
older, no longer existing versions are executed instead of the current
I wasn't talking about memory, I was referring more to servicing multiple

As far as the same dir, I said how you could try it, but I also said I

what I will do is create the zoom as an option that the user can turn on

hi everyone!
if i want a bunch of miaws to open in a grid like

of the same quicktime movie how would i do this?
would i reference the same .dir with a quicktime movie
as a sprite in all the calls to miaws in the other

To get 10% bigger you could multiply by 1.1:
sprite(1).width = sprite(1).widt
To the List (Colin & Al):
Ok. I'm trying to create a script that increases or decreases the height &
width by 10% everytime intersections occur. (Thanks for the hints before.)
For example,

it means that sprite(1,"pictures") doesn't mean anything. a sprite number is

David,
You are getting this specific error message because the keyword
"sprite" only takes one parameter - the spriteNumber. The question
is, what are you trying to say when you keep referencing:
sprite(1, "pictures") ???
sprite(1)refers to whatever cast member is in channel 1 in
That sounds like it will work, i will give it a go and let you know.
Thanks,
Brad

Hi and Thanks Al
I was using rect(sprite) but it failed to work. I was getting
only one dimension to scale and not the other. I guess the
problem is that this is dynically updated and the width and height are
automatically
entered into fields. I only have 2 dimensions to work with as well.
So I n

Thanks Colin
That did the trick . There are so many things to know.
Thank God there are people like you who have taught us
so much. That help has been invaluable
Many Thanks
