You can teach your objects to leave the actorList in a polite way,
where they relay the stepFrame event to the next object:
on stepFrame me
if not deathwish then return
thePos = (the actorList).getPos(me)
if thePos < 1 then return
(the actorList).deleteAt(thePos)
if thePos > (the actorList).count() then return
-- politely relay event to next object --
call #stepFrame, (the actorList)[thePos]
end
