Below is a clipping from a Behavior script: on getMemberFromStage me,dMbr -- dMbr is a member reference which is valid in the stage's context tell the stage if ilk(dMbr) = #member then if the number of dMbr > 0 then dmedia = dMbr.media Found=TRUE end if end if end tell -- we 're back in the MIAW now if found then sprite (spriteNum).member.media = dMedia end if end Best regards Daniel Plaenitz
