yes.
you're trying to get the sprite number from the cast member name.
member("teamname, "team data") will return the memberNum.
then you're using that number as the sprite channel.
but that's not the sprite channel, that's the memberNum.
you can't get the sprite number from the cast member name.
one reason is that member("teamname, "team data") could very well be in
more than one sprite channel.
you need to find a better way of knowing what sprite you want to use.
either keep track of the sprites by hardcoding the sprites in question,
or create a sprite manager that knows which sprites are holding that
cast member, or something in between...
