>From a recent post, I have a hunch Juan is wanting to rotate thru a certain
pre-defined set of members in a list, probably doing this:
sprite(mySpr).memberNum = sprite(mySpr).memberNum + 1
Juan, if this is what you're looking for, you'll need to set up a list of
all the possible members you want to cycle through, and check the bounds of
the list when incrementing members. Use an index variable that points to
the current member in the list.
--<untested lingo typed in email app>
property lsMembers
property iCurMemIndex
on beginSprite me
-- initialize props
lsMembers = buildListOfMembers( me, 10,20 )
iCurMemIndex = 1
sprite(me.spriteNum).memberNum = lsMembers[ iCurMemIndex ]
end
on buildListOfMembers me, intFirstMemberNum, intFinalMemberNum
ls = []
repeat with i = intFirstMemberNum to intFinalMemberNum
lsMembers.add( i )
end repeat
return ls
end
on switchToNextMember me
iCurMemIndex = iCurMemIndex + 1
-- THIS IS THE 'LOOPING' YOU ASKED FOR
if iCurMemIndex > lsMembers.count then
iCurMemIndex = 1
end if
sprite(me.spriteNum).memberNum = lsMembers[ iCurMemIndex ]
end
--</untested lingo>
Put this lingo into a behavior script and drop it onto the member you want
to increment. You'll need to change the hard-coded numbers you send to the
buildListOfMembers handler, and it'd be best to set them as user-defined
properties by putting them into a getPropertyDescriptionList handler.
Conversely, you could use the "Cycle Graphics" behavior in the Behavior
Library.
