David,
I haven't used "setScriptList" in D8 yet, but there are a couple of
things that look wrong with the above:
1) In your loop, you are starting with channel 0 - probably not what
you want. I think channel 0 is the frame script sprite number. You
probably want to change this to: repeat with i = 1 to 30.
2) In your call to setScriptList, according to the documentation,
you need a set of quotes around the property list that defines the
properties (boy that's a mouthful). Specifically, it should look
more like:
sprite(i).setscriptlist([[(member("GoMyMarker"), "[#my: pmy,
#mytarget:pmytarget, #mymovie: pmymovie]"]])
3) And finally, I'm guessing from what you said in your intro that
you really don't want the _name_ of these text members, but instead,
you want the _text_ contained in the text members. Unless you are
doing something strange, the name of the members usually doesn't
change, but you can easily change the content of the text member.
This would allow you to make your table of contents really dynamic.
If this is the case, then you want to change:
pmytarget = sprite(i).member.name
to
pmytarget = sprite(i).member.text
