x = -1 * x
modern lingo syntax could be:
aValue = -1 * aValue
aValue = -(the aValue of me) ? (untested)
"the aValue of me" is the entire name of the variable you're going after here, so you need to make sure the negative is outside the entire 'variable'.

Hello,
In this behavior:
property aSprite property aValue
on beginSprite me set the aSprite of me to sprite the spriteNum of me set the aValue of me to 9 end beginSprite
on doSomething me set the aValue of me to the -aValue of me end doSomething
------ using verbose syntax I'm trying to set property variable aValue to a negative meaning. I know I can do this like "set the aValue to -9" or "aValue = -aValue", but I want it the way this is done in doSomething handler. Director complains saying "Expected end of statement". I played around with the brackets but to no result. Is there a workaround about this?
Thanks Petro Bochan
