& there's some other gotchas -
The GPDL only seem to run twice if there are already behaviors
attached to that sprite. (if sprite().scriptList already exists).
Also when editing the script, pressing the recompile button causes
that behavior to fire and since the currentSprite = 0, so you
probably want to only run your checking code when sprite(the
currentSprite) <> 0.
