> Any thoughts or input? It's what I would have expected. If you use the member name, Lingo has to parse the string and find the member every time. You eliminate that step by using the reference or number. Updatestage is a huge timewaster if it's not needed (and it usually isn't--one dependable sign of a beginning programmer is liberal use of updatestage). I can't comment on setting the sprite's member out of context. I'd have to see the rest of the code. In fact, if you posted the code, I bet you'd get a whole bunch more optimizations. Colin would probably reduce the whole thing to one line that would run 437 times faster than anybody else's.
