Well, first of all, there could be 500 members all on the stage at once and
they would have the same member...
So would you want a list of all the sprite references that have a given
member?
spritesOfMember = getSpritesWithMember( member("somemember") )
put spritesOfMember
-- [(sprite 1), (sprite 18), (sprite 400)]
