Well, here, where you have the line:
sprite(1).membernum =sprite(1).membernum
You're just setting it to itself.
Do you want to reset it to 1, or go somewhere else, or... ?

I think you're misinterpreting how the sprite(1).membernum + 1 works.
Basically, the first time through, it's member is, say, 400.
The line:
sprite(1).membernum=sprite(1).membernum+1
is evaluated on the right side first, then the result is stored in the
left. So on the right, sprite(1).membernum =400. Add 1 to it, you get
401, and that's stored in the variable to the left of the equal
sign. Since that variable is sprite(1).membernum itself, it has the effect
of incrementing sprite(1).membernum, so its values are, successively, 400,
then 401 next time through, then 402, etc.
Finally, you get to where it's 413. What do you want to do with it
now? Do you want to set it back to the original number, 400? Do you want
to just leave it at 413? (If so, no need to assign it to itself, just do
the 'go to the frame'). It won't change until you change it.
