I may be completely off track here but could you use an initialising script
on the flash sprite to force the update or in fact to control the sprites
member - something like:
WARNING: off the top of my head email lingo
puppetMember=member("flashMember",1)
puppetsprite i, true
x = script("Flashcontroller").new() --- create a new script instance
and attach to the puppetsprite
sprite(i).scriptInstanceList.add(x)
-- send the puppet it's spriteNum & membername as a false beginsprite
sendsprite(i, #hBeginPuppetSprite, i,puppetMember)
-- (hBeginPuppetSprite would need to set the sprites properties)
sprite(i).member=puppetMember
sprite(i).member.type=sprite(i).member.type
--You could then set your Flash specific stuff
-- hard coded way -> setVariable(i, "variableName", newValue)
or put this in the "Flashcontroller" script and call the behavour like
sendsprite(i,#SetVars, "variableName", newValue)
--
Another option could be a controller parent with similiar code to the
behaviour then just do a new instance of the parent for each sprite
Hope this helps more than it confuses - I got a little carried away :0)
