In general when sending a command to a sprite you use the syntax:
sendSprite ( whateverSprite, #function, parameter )
In this particular case if the behavior was attached to a sprite in
channel 4, and the member you wanted to change was named
"swapMember", your call would be:
sendSprite ( 4, #mSetMember, "swapMember" )
However you're probably going to want to do this with another
behavior that handles it on mouseUp, or mouseEnter, or whatever, and
you might want to attach that behavior to the same sprite running
this behavior, in which case you might instead do this:
on mouseEnter me
sendSprite ( me.spriteNum, #mSetMember, "swapMember" )
end
...or you could just add the above directly to the same behavior
script which contains the mSetMember() handler, so the command might
then be:
on mouseEnter me
me. mSetMember( "swapMember" )
end
Hope that helps.
