Too much trouble to do the parent script/stepFrame thing??? Here's
all the code you need (untested):
-- Movie script
global goExitFrame -- global object Exit Frame
on prepareMovie
goExitFrame = new(script "ExitFrame")
end
on stopMovie
goExitFrame.mCleanUp()
goExitFrame = 0
end
-- ExitFrame Parent script
on new me
add(the actorList, me)
return me
end
on mCleanUp me
deleteOne(the actorList, me)
end
on stepFrame me
-- do whatever you want here on each frame event
end
No need to monkey around with the score at all. You would have to
add some checking if you are moving between movies.
