For some reason in 5 years of director development, I've never worked seriously with Parent/Child scripting. Now I'm dumped into the middle of it, and desperately need some help here.
I have a flash movie which has 25 moving objects on the screen, as well as a number of obstacles. These objects react to a mouse click in flash to set their new destination. However, due to the amount of processing needed to find the shortest available route, I want to offload the pathfinding scripts to director. Now, in order to find the shortest route possible, I need to keep track of several arrays specific to each flash "sprite". I believe the easiest way to do this is to make a new child instance each time my pathfinding handler is called. However, I have nothing to "attach" these children to. I guess my main question is, is it possible to have abstract children off a parent script, where the children exist simply as invocations of a script, and not invocations of a script which are attached to a specific director sprite? I know that may seem convulted, so if anything needs clarification, let me know. ~matt desimone [EMAIL PROTECTED] [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
