Hi List.
I�ve run into this strange problem.
I�m generating some sprites based on a list of symbols defining what member
to put into the sprite. Like this:
 Just to mass puppet them and attach a mouseUp script to all.

  repeat with s = 50 to 105
    puppetSprite s, TRUE
    x = script("carg_mouse").new()
    sprite(s).scriptInstanceList.add(x)
  end repeat

  repeat with i = 1 to lastItem
    dispItem = pl_itemList[i]
    case dispItem of
      #wpn: disp_mem = member("cg_wpn_uc") --Weapons
      #foo: disp_mem = member("cg_foo_uc") --Food
      #dop: disp_mem = member("") --Dope
      #jew: disp_mem = member("cg_jew_uc") --Jewels
      #ent: disp_mem = member("") --Entertainment
      #too: disp_mem = member("") --Tools
      #clo: disp_mem = member("") --Clothes
      #rob: disp_mem = member("") --Robots
      #med: disp_mem = member("") --Medicine
      #com: disp_mem = member("cg_com_uc") --Computers
    end case
    sprite(curr_sp).member = disp_mem
    sprite(curr_sp).rect = gCargList[y_count][x_count]
    curr_sp = curr_sp + 1
    x_count = x_count + 1
    if x_count > 5 then
      y_count = y_count + 1
      x_count = 1
    end if
  end repeat

Works like a charm. Calling the mouseUp script works just great.
BUT, the funny part comes here:

on mouseUp me
  mySprite = me.spriteNum
  add_sub = 1
  puppetSprite(mySprite), TRUE
  if add_sub = 1 then
    sprite(mySprite).member = sprite(mySprite).member + 1
    add_sub = 0
  else
    sprite(mySprite).member = sprite(mySprite).member - 1
    add_sub = 1
  end if
end

if i set the property mySprite on beginSprite it�s VOID, ok.
So i slaped it at the begining of the mouse up script.
Ugly but it works.
Generating a number from 50 and upwards.
Fine, the right sprite gets called.
But the strange part is when i try and change the member of mySprite, it
changes to member(0) of castLib(0) no matter what i do. This code was my
last attempt to change it by redoing step 1. Puppeting the sprite again,
setting the member.
But still it generates a member(0) of castLib(0). WHY??????

Am i missing something here??

Frustrated and bored =/

TIA
