child object oddity

[Word of Mouth Productions]

I have a parent script and in it I noticed that a SendAllSprites call to a
handler in a script attached to a sprite on the stage wasn't getting to the
target. I put "put the activeWindow" just before the suspicious line of
code and sure enough, because the handler in the object is called from a
MIAW, the object thinks it's in the MIAW and the SendAllSprites goes nowhere
since the handler doesn't exist in the MIAW.

Do I have to specify "tell the stage" anytime I want to send a message to a
handler in a stage sprite to get around this?

Thanks Ziggi. Actually it was quite simple, I just did a find and replace
with gDataList.notes.

and tell the stage to gDataList.notes.
