This is a weird one. I've got a sprite - one of 10 identical sprites, which
is not executing its code at all. The other 9 all work perfectly fine, and
they all have the exact same behavior on them. This one guy executes his
beginSprite code, and that's it. The mouse-events, exitFrame, and custom
handlers on the thing don't even respond. (I tried using "put" commands in
each of the other behaviors to see if it's even reading the code, but it
isn't.) It has all its properties from the behavior (set in the
beginSprite - the only one that runs on this one for some reason), and they
can be altered via run-time scripts and checked via Message Window/Object
Inspector. I'm not doing anything nutty like messing with
scriptInstanceLists or puppetSprites or anything. (And if I were, I'd
imagine that even if I'd somehow killed its scriptInstanceList, its
properties given by that script would not be accessable anymore, and that's
not the case.) As far as I can see, this sprite is being treated exactly
like its 9 brothers, but for some reason, their code works and his doesn't.
I've tried removing and reapplying the behavior, even deleting the sprite
and copy/pasting one of the others into it's location, moving it to another
sprite channel, etc. Nothing seems to make a difference.

I realize this isn't much to go on, but I couldn't begin to explain all the
scripts going on on this thing, and I doubt any of you would have the
patience to go through that much code anyhow. (It's a somewhat long script,
though not unusually complicated.) I'm just wondering if anyone else has
had something like this happen where a sprite just suddenly stopped
responding to all scripts for no discernable reason...

D'oh. Never mind. After all that - save, quit, reload made it go away.
Should've considered the possibility that it was the program screwing up and
not me... Oh well. Still really annoying when that happens...
