This doesn't go up for beginSprite.      OnlybehavioursgetbeginSprite.Or
more correctly: only things that director puts in the scriptinstancelist

gets beginsprite. if you create a behaviour dynamically and add that to 
the scriptinstance list it doesn't get beginsp riteeither.

Maybe already stated? :: besides changing beginSprite to new - if you
want
to still use the script on a sprite - you would add it to the
scriptInstanceList

obj = script('myScript").new()
sprite(n).scriptInstanceList.add(obj)

It then receives all mouse and sprite events. It doesn't receive
beginsprite - but          itknowsit'sspriteNum.Iguessyoucouldleavethe
beginSprite handler on it and then call it after adding the instance to
the
sprite.

I make something like this:

on new(me, _SpriteNum)

    me.SpriteNum = _SpriteNum

    -- Normal Init
    me.beginSprite()

    return me

end

Remind that the child's functions overloads the ancestor's

Example:

[Ancestor]
property spriteNum

property ptSprite

property piLocV

on new(me, _spriteNum)
  
  spriteNum = _spriteNum
  me.beginsprite()
  
  return me
  
end

on beginSprite(me)
  
  ptSprite = sprite(spriteNum)
  
  piLocV = ptSprite.locV
  
end

on exitFrame(me)
  
  ptSprite.locV = piLocV
  piLocV = piLocV + 1
  
end

---------------------------------
---------------------------------

[Child]
property spriteNum

property ancestor

property ptSprite

property piLocH

on beginSprite(me)
  
  ancestor = script("papi").new(spriteNum)
  
  ptSprite = sprite(spriteNum)
  
  piLocH = ptSprite.locH
  
end

on exitFrame(me)
  
  ptSprite.locH = piLocH
  piLocH = piLocH + 1
  
  if(ancestor.handler(#exitFrame)) then
    call(#exitframe, ancestor)
  end if
  
end
