When the startMovie handler runs, all the sprites have been "set up".
You can test this by putting a graphic - anything - in any sprite(s)
and attach a behavior like this:
property spriteNum
on beginsprite me
put "Hello from sprite" && spriteNum
end
And then in your startMovie:
on startMovie
put "Hello from the startMovie"
end
You will see the sprite messages first, then the startMovie message.
Have you tried putting a 0 pixel or 1 pixel cast member into the
three sprites that you are grabbing? Does that not work? Always has
for me.
