"Getting back to the original question:
If you are dropping the behaviours on the sprites on the stage by hand
or assigning them in the score, they'll know their own spriteNum. But if
you're assigning them on the fly with Lingo they won't, you'll need to
do it with something like:
Have I struck close to the problem?"
I am dropping the behaviour onto the sprites by hand - so in theory they
should know their own spriteNum?
Anyway after looking at the occasions where me.spriteNum is working in my
code and where it isn't - I have come to the conclusion it must be something
to do with the way the handler is being called. With the one in question,
i.e a drabbable note, when you drop the note onto the stave the note
behaviour sends a message to a "Stave Manager" behaviour
i.e sendSprite(pSprite_Number_Of_Stave_Manager,
#Drop_A_Note_At_This_Position, pCurrent_X_Position,�
pCurrent_Y_Position, pMidi_Instrument_Number,pInstrument_Icon_Number)
This "Stave Manager" behaviour then sends a message back to the note
behaviour (not by using a return value)
i.e sendSprite (pSprite_Number_Of_Current_Note, #Display_Note_Here,
pCurrent_Beat_Location, pCurrent_Note_Location,�
pInstrument_Number, pInstrument_Icon_Number)
I think the confusion must lie here - looking at the code I can see it was
one of those 3 in the morning solutions :)
Thanks to everyone who responded to my question.
