601 FRAMES Lingo:
New 'on prepareFrame' handler acts before frame is drawn,
and frame scripts now also receive the 'me' parameter!
Frame scripts get 'beginSprite' and 'endSprite' events.
Sprite and castMember scripts get 'enterFrame' and
'exitFrame' events, including the 'me' parameter!
In updated movies from 5.0, sprite cells can be
cross-linked to strange scripts and other castMembers!
Watch out: Use Director's "Update Movies..." function to
update 5.0 movies to 6.0. First update 4.0 movies to 5.0.
Check ALL sprites + puppets after updating old movies!
601 PUPPETS Lingo:
Only reduced puppeting possible in 'prepareMovie',
'prepareFrame', 'beginSprite', and 'endSprite' handlers!
A behavior's auto-puppetting differs from 'puppetSprite':
auto-puppeting consists across the life span of a sprite,
'puppetSprite' persists longer. Setting 'puppetSprite'
to FALSE also releases auto-puppets.
See info from the '6.0 ReadMe' at 'puppet of sprite'!
