The enterframe & exitframe go to all sprites (they don't need to be passed)
drop this onto several sprites and in spots in the frame channel -
you'll see that all of them fire!
on enterFrame me
put sprite(me.spriteNum), the frame, "enter"
end
on exitFrame me
put sprite(me.spriteNum), the frame, "exit"
end
btw (sprite -5) is the frame channel
