Swapping a member with another that is exactly 27 cast members ahead

[JB]

Try this



property oldmem

on mouseEnter me
oldmem = sprite(me.spriteNum).memNum
sprite(me.spriteNum).memNum = oldmem + 27
end


on mousLeave me -- in case you need to restore
sprite(me.spriteNum).memNum = oldmem
end


-- double check my spelling recolection for memNum

Hello

Lingo - wow.

I'm trying to get a cast member to swap with another on mouseEnter. The other member is exactly 27 spaces forward in the cast.

I'd normally just swap it with the cast member's number, but I need to apply this script to several cast members, all of which have their "swapping" cousins residing 27 spaces forward in the cast.

This would be easier than creating several dozed scripts and applying them to each sprite on the stage.

Here's what I have so far. I'm new at this, so I'm hoping that the error is simple.



on mouseEnter me
set change = the currentSpriteNum of me
set the member of sprite the currentSpriteNum to member (change + 27)
end



when I use the script, I get a "Property not found" error. I do not know what that means.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

The item is "memberNum"

This worked:



property oldmem

on mouseEnter me
oldmem = sprite(me.spriteNum).memberNum
sprite(me.spriteNum).memberNum = oldmem + 27
end

on mouseLeave me
oldmem = sprite(me.spriteNum).memberNum
sprite(me.spriteNum).memberNum = oldmem - 27
end


Thanks for the heads-up!
Much appreciated!
