Something funny with the ACTIONS menu

[tsfg]

Greetings all;

I have been trying to add some actions to a scene, and I've noticed a discrepancy between what I see on the screen and what the manual says. (using Swish ver 2002.04.17).

For example, the manual says (pg 70) that there is a SET PROPERTIES action and several CONDITIONAL actions, but these do not show up as my choices in the ADD ACTIONS menu. My ADD ACTIONS menu has a TRANSFORM selection, but this is not mentioned in the manual. I've looked for both scene and object actions.

I want to change the properties of a sprite on a mouse press. My only choice seems to be TRANSFORM, which apparently applies to the whole movie, not the sprite.

Am I looking in the wrong place, or is the manual wrong?

Thanks.....Terry

Found the answer below about the discrepancy.

But how do I change the properties of JUST an object on a mouse press???

Use the Tell-Target event and specify the name of the sprite you wish to transform.
