What you want me to prived data to prove my claim? OK, here you go:
property spriteNum
on mouseDown me
startMS = the milliseconds
repeat with i = 1 to 100000
x = me.spriteNum
end repeat
totalMS = the milliseconds - startMS
put "Total milliseconds using me.spriteNum:" && totalMS
startMS = the milliseconds
repeat with i = 1 to 100000
x = spriteNum
end repeat
totalMS = the milliseconds - startMS
put "Total milliseconds using spriteNum:" && totalMS
end
From the message window:
-- "Total milliseconds using me.spriteNum: 353"
-- "Total milliseconds using spriteNum: 255"
Looks like I'm right.
