Thanks a lot for the info you provided, but what i was trying to do was
creating a sprite out of nowhere (meaning no placeholder on the stage) and
from the info you provided i deduce that{s not possible if there are no
placeholders where my sprites would be. is this correct, or jus by ading a
puppetsprite line to my code i will be able to acrually see the sprites i
assigned members to but which weren{t originally on stage (not even
represented by placeholders)?
