hello all-
Messing with a handler that reports the highest occupied sprite channel
(for spawning/puppeting new sprites), I find myself a a bit stumped.
The handler below works, but only for the current frame; if the user
jumps to a frame containing more sprites than the current one, the info
is inaccurate, and my poor puppets cause errors.
Is there any way I can check ALL the frames without actually playing
them?
on getEmptyChannel me
tLastChan = the lastChannel
--find the last OCCUPIED channel
repeat with i = tLastChan down to 1
if sprite(i).type <> 0 then
--return the EMPTY channel after it
emptyChan = i + 1
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
return emptyChan
end
regards and thanks
