If I use the new() call in a single var (my old method), it works fine.
I also ran a test movie with a script that would output "child created"
when "on new me" was called. The new() call again operates properly
unless I put it in the structure above, at which point I do not see the
output, which leads me to believe that the new script is never being
created/called.

Already am. My calling syntax for the getStackPointer works fine, its
just the creation of the object which is giving me angst.

Set them all over the getStackPointer handler. It just seems to never
create the new instance. Is there something I'm missing in the parent
handler itself that I should be declaring in order to make it work
properly as a child?
