i cannot get this to work!!!
sendSprite(-5, #someFMethod, someArg) is the same as using....
sprite(-5).someFmethod(someArg)
Yes??
I keep getting handler or property not found if I use the second method
if I put
put me.spritenum
in the beginsprite handler of the framescript it does indeed report -5.
I don't understand why i cannot access methods or member vars using the dot
notation.
Cheers
Ryan
