Re: What is the most elegant/performative rollovertechnique

I've got a whole chapter on "Intersprite Communication" in my online 
electronic book.

Check out chapter 11.

I have a movie where I want to change four graphics with one rollover. At the
moment I have individualised behaviours attached to each sprite like this:
<lingo>
  on mouseEnter
    modRollover(56,25,12,0)
  end
  on mouseLeave
    modRollout(56,25,12,0)
  end
</lingo>
...which call these handlers:

<lingo>
  on modRollover txtSprite, thumbSprite, modNum
    sprite(56).member = "txtLine_mod" & modNum & "_on"
    sprite(23).member = "imgLine_mod" & modNum & "_on"
    sprite(39).member = "mainImg_mod" & modNum
  end
  on modRollout txtSprite, thumbSprite, modNum
    sprite(56).member = "txtLine_mod" & modNum & "_off"
    sprite(23).member = "imgLine_mod" & modNum & "_off"
    sprite(39).member = "mainImg_home"
  end
</lingo>
But it seems a little inelegant, and it all breaks if I move the graphics to a
different channel. Is there a better way?
Thanks
