This parent script handler declares pMySpriteNum a property to make it available:

-- script Elder

property pMyChannel

on new me, whichSprite

me.pMyChannel = whichSprite

return me

end

The original behavior script sets up the ancestor and passes the spriteNum property to

all behaviors:

property spriteNum

property ancestor

on beginSprite me

ancestor = new script("Elder", spriteNum)

end

Usage

-- Lingo syntax

put expression after chunkExpression

Description

Command; evaluates a Lingo expression, converts the value to a string, and inserts the resulting

string after a specified chunk in a container, without replacing the container’s contents. (If

chunkExpression specifies a nonexistent target chunk, the string value is inserted as appropriate

into the container.)

Chunk expressions refer to any character, word, item, or line in any container. Containers include

field cast members; text cast members; variables that hold strings; and specified characters, words,

items, lines, and ranges within containers.

Example

This statement adds the string “fox dog cat” after the contents of the field cast member Animal

List:

put("fox dog cat") after member("Animal List")

The same can be accomplished using this statement:

put "fox dog cat" after member("Animal List").line[1]
