Couple different ways. One you've seen already, using lists.
Another way would be to actually create the sprites on the flay and
attach behaviors to them that do whatever it is you need done. That
way you can make as many as you have to without pre-coding anything.
Here's a modified version of some code that creates a new sprite on the fly:
on CreateSprite me, nOpenSprite, mMember, sScript
puppetSprite nOpenSprite, TRUE
sprite(nOpenSprite).member = mMember
sprite(nOpenSprite).ink = 36 -- bkgnd transparent
oScript = new ( script sScript )
sprite(nOpenSprite).scriptList = [ oScript ]
END CreateSprite
You'd call it by passing along the sprite location, member reference
and script you wanted to attach. After the sprite gets its
beginSprite, it should behave like any other instantiated object.
