Absolute concurrence here - I suppose the main requirement of the
accessor methods is to supply/set the data required in such a way that
the object can be perceived as a "black box". ie you should be able to
change the implementation of the method without affecting any other

Solved it - I'd put the handler in a movie script rather than an object

I don't know if this is a bug but:
I'm trying to output all the behaviour, parent script, movie
script, member names into the message window so that I can prepare a
spreadsheet of them.

I think you'll find that any code after the "go to the frame" is
ignored, try swapping the statements.

Correct me if I'm wrong - I mean this - CORRECT me if I'm wrong - but
in the case below wouldn't "spriteNum" hold a reference to the sprite
that the behaviour was attached to - and in effect, the behaviour would
be sending the message to itself?

check out getNetText() and netTextResult() in combination with netDone()
and netError(). I'm currently working on a project that makes extensive
use of this.

I find it useful for putting a break-point in code where director
doesn't want to let you put one.

The only way I managed to reliably get round this is to create two
stub projectors (one Mac and one PC) the first and only thing this
projector does is to load a .dir with a name that you've decided upon.
From then on you only ever create .dir(s) and get your projectors to
load them.
When running Director under Classic in Mac OSX i've found that any time
you query the neterror() of a network operation it will return "OK" in
all but the most obvious cases (ie a malformed URL still gives an

Just to let you all know - I sorted out my NetError() problem: Seems
that running Director under OSX prevents you from being able to query
the net work operation for errors - not a problem if you are fore-warned.
