Thanx Jakob. Seems Terry already beat me to my reply. I _never_ get

base with my reply.
The 'call' function can be used to send a message to multiple locations and
it's much faster than either repeat or sendAllSprites. You can save the
objects, in this case sprite behaviors in a list, and t

Erm... that would require that sendAllSprites was an asynchronous
function, that allowed other events to process s

OK just did that :) Except its not a totally fair comparison since i'm at
home now on my 900 mhz Athlon and at work i have a 400 mhz G4 so i'll test
it Monday but here's what i got.
Here's the script since it wasn't in the message from before
startTime = the milliseconds
call #setWindow
add in the Call one & see the difference...

FYI I decided to check out the difference by using the suggested script
below this is what turned out. Its bassically moving the locV of every
sprite when the handler is called.
Repeat loop: sendAllSprites:
5 sprites : 86 5 sprites: 112
10 sprites:
No, no, no. Never encourage the monkey in the cage.
On a related note, it might be interesting to some people to experiment
with this:
property ancestor
on new me
ancestor = (sprite nn)
end new
;-)

of course. but since Director trys to be asynchronous, in general I
find it more of an annoyance.

Yep:

Why do you not want to use either of these approaches? These are the
two standard ways.

repeat loops lock out everything els
Is there a way to send a large group of sprites with a script attached
params without using the sendAllsprites and without using a repeat loop?
