I think you're also missing a very important thing in that beginSprite
handler!!
on beginSprite me
tempVar = timeOut(test).new(500, #doSomething, me)
end beginSprite
You need to set the returned value of that timeout().new() to a variable,
or you get hemorrhoids and excessive eye-booger
I managed to get the startMovie handler called 7 times. I'm willing to
let you guess how I managed that before I reveal yet another Stupid
Lingo Trick.

I'm sure that you didn't use a repeat loop a counter -
that would be intentional
on stupidTrick me
repeat with i = 1 to 7
startMovie
end repeat
end stupidTrick
Kidding... really:)

That would be on reallyStupidTrick ^_^
Mine is much more subtle--took me two hours to figure out what was
happening.

Funny...there are seven cardinal sins too, right? Kerry, what have you been
upto? Is this a divine sign to start afresh? Or do you just have 7 timeout
objects floating around?

Heh. That would do it. But no, that's not it.

You created 6 timeout objects in prepareMovie and none of their targets
contained startMovie handlers?

Almost--but I would have caught that right off. The subtle part is that
beginSprite happens before startMovie. I think that only applies to
sprites in frame 1, but not sure.

TimeOut Objects get startMovie events. If you don't trap them, they get
passed on up the line to the movie level.
I put this:
on startMovie
nothing
end
Hmm. Well I've got a main startmovie handler, and am birthing timeout

OCH! I need to make a big ol' order of events table for director and

I don't know a mnemonic, but there's something almost as good--Bruce
Epstein's Director in a Nutshell. It's out of date on a lot of things
For me I would only ever get two startMovie event calls
regardless of how many sprites I attached the timeout script
to. For curiosity sake Kerry, how are you managing to get 6
startMovie events triggering.
I have six timeOuts, one for each sprite. Each sprite's timeOut has a
different

Which is the right thing to do, but there's also the additional
safetynet-version. In your actual movie-level startMovie handler:
on startMovie param1
if param1.objectP then
(*)return
end if
