I agree with Buzz about the cause of your problem. Here is a
different approach. In your begin sprite define two property
variables, for example pMemberUp and pMemberDown (I can't really tell
what you are trying to do with these things, but I'm guessing it's
kind of an up/down button thing). Then instead of doing math, just
use the correct property. Also keep a flag variable to remember
state. For example
property pMemberUp
property pMemberDown
property pfUp -- flag, Up = TRUE, down = FALSE
In your beginSprite handler below, after of:
sprite(curr_sp).member = disp_mem
add somethink like this:
pMemberUp = member(disp_mem).number
pMemberDown = pMemberUp + 1
pfUp = TRUE -- start in the Up position
Then your mouseUp handler could just become:
on mouseUp me
pfUp = not(pfUp) -- flip state
if pfUp then
sprite(me.spriteNum) = pMemberUp
else
sprite(me.spriteNum) = pMemberDown
end if
end
Only do the math once, and remember the results in property variables.
