But won't this miss some if he has any empty cast slots between members? If he has something in cast member 1, nothing in member 2, and something in 3, I assume the above code would return "2", but he would need to go through slot 3 to test all of his cast members.


The way I've done it, even though it's imprecise, is: (and this is assuming you aren't adding cast members at runtime with the chance of going past slot 512)

repeat with m=1 to 512
  if member(m).type<>#EMPTY then
    -- do search here
  end if
end repeat
