A slip of the tongue, sorry, pen. The sentence should have read, " As
always, you are very smart." I apologize.

I get your point.

Thanks for the advice.
However, may I be allowed another question:
If you do not use cast scripts, how do you play a sound member in the cast?
You mean, do it the way I did (put in the score as a sprite) and give all of
you a headache trying to figure out what I was trying to do?
Thanks again,
Genevieve
(Sorry if I have gone overboard, but how does one use cast member scripts
or is there no use at all?)
