How to tell sprites in another frame to update

[MacroSteve webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi,

I have a bar chart that updates depending on data entered in other parts of the movie. I have a constant print button which I want to use to print the data and pie chart on the same page using the Print O Matic Xtra. The bar chart is only updated when it is on screen (triggered by frame script). If I am somewhere else in the movie is it possible to update the sprites in the bar chart frame i.e.

Update the heights of sprites x and y in frame z.

Thanks in advance

Steve

P.S. I have done a search for this on the forum but don't really know what to search for so appologies if this question has already been answered.

you can't update sprites in other frames, but you can place your sprite at
off-stage coordinates in order to be able to update it "invisibly"

You can also use The updateLock (set to true), than do some go to frame,
change your sprite, back to starting frame then set the updatelock to false.
