Note that the above statement using the Name property will not switch
cast members, only change the members' names.
About "not":
"Not" can only switch between 1 and 0 (True and False). "not" will
work best with statements that toggles True/False conditions, like
on exitFrame me
the visible of sprite(me.spriteNum) =\
not the visible of sprite(me.spriteNum) -- Blinking sprite!
go the frame
end
However, if you know you are using members 10 and 11 you could create
a True/ Flase condition by offsetting the member numbers:
on mouseDown me
sprite(me.spriteNum).member = \
not (sprite(me.spriteNum).member.memberNum - 10) + 10 -- Mem 10 or 11
end
The problem is that you need to hard-code the member number. If you
want a more general script (that works with any combination of 2
members in sequence) here's a modified version of JHM's suggestion:
on mouseDown me
sprite(me.spriteNum).member = sprite(me.spriteNum).memberNum\
+ [1, -1][sprite(me.spriteNum).memberNum mod 2 + 1] -- Toggling member num
end
-A.
