hi, colin
thanks for the input. i've sent a new message before reading yours about
it. i knew i had to make them talk via tell command (tell the stage worked
fine), but when i wanted to talk to the ldm, i mistakenly used the ldm's
cast name, and not the sprite number. but the bottom line is, if you don't
use "tell sprite ldmspritenumber" from within the ldm scripts, the ldm
script will change the main movie sprite. let's say you want to switch
sprite 2 in the ldm with this script:
on mousewithin me
sprite(the currentSpriteNum).member = "rolloverbutton"
end
on mouseLeave me
sprite(the currentSpriteNum).member = "outbutton"
end
then, you'll see the sprite 2 in the main movie change, and only if u have
the "rolloverbutton" on its cast; if not, message error will show up.
that's weird. to behave like that, shouldn't i use tell the stage instead?
anyway, it didn't work totally. can you make a small experience? in the
ldm, make a button or something that switches states on mousewithin, and
see if it works when the ldm is active in the main movie. for me, it
didn't. it acts like on mouseDown.
that's the script i used for the experience. no big deal.

property pQualMembro,pQualMembroOriginal, pLdmSprite
on getPropertyDescriptionList
lista = [#pQualMembro:[#format:#bitmap,#default:"",#comment:"Pick the
pressed
member:"],#pQualMembroOriginal:[#format:#bitmap,#default:"",#comment:"Pick
the original
member:"],#pLdmSprite::[#format:#integer,#default:148,#comment:"Ldm sprite
number:"]]
return lista
end
on mouseDown me
tell sprite pLdmSprite
sprite(the currentSpriteNum).member = member pQualMembro
updateStage
end tell
end
on mouseUp me
tell sprite pLdmSprite
sprite(the currentSpriteNum).member = member pQualMembroOriginal
updateStage
end tell
end
thanks one more time.
