Changing cast member with a mouse click

[Random Rob webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Im trying to change the castmember of a sprite each time it is clicked on. I've managed to do it so that it changes just the once by using the
"set the membernum of sprite 2 to 2" but i want it to change to another cast member each time it is clicked.
Please help me.
Cheers,
Rob

i didnt try this but it may be worth a shot

set changeMember = random(10) <-- this should be the number of sprites you
have
set the membernum of sprite 2 to changeMember

hope this works

Thanks for your reply,
i tried your suggestion and it works
however i have a couple of questions.

how can i tell director which cast members to use as it only seems to use the first 4 if i enter
set changeMember = random(4).
This is fine for some of the sprites but i would like others to use the next 4 castmembers.
Also, is it possible to change the members in order as opposed to random?
Thanks for your help.

I would probably use a list of cast member references. I would create the
list using the member names instead of memberNums since the memberNum could
change at any time if you move the castMembers around.

Here's a very basic example that is hard-coded to the member names, but
should help get you started.

property plMembers
property pIndex

on beginSprite me
plMembers = [member("red"),member("green"),member("blue")]
pIndex = 1
end

on mouseUp me
pIndex = pIndex + 1
if pIndex > plMembers.count then
-- go back to first member
pIndex = 1
end if
sprite(me.spriteNum).member = plMembers[pIndex]
end
