Except when I have multiple Players with the same name in the project. For example if I have a Player with the ExternalName 'Cat' on page 1 and another Player with the ExternalName 'Cat' on page 2. Then execute the script on Page 2 the 'Cat' on Page 1 moves forward. (Note: in playing around with this at one point the 'Cat' on page 2 did move, but when I renamed the 'Cat' and made a new one it went back to the behavior where the 'Cat' on page 1 moved again.
I changed the script to refer to 'Page' instead of 'ActiveWorld' and that seemed to solve the problem, until I duplicated the page (which causes 'Cat' to become 'Cat1') and then renamed 'Cat1' to 'Cat' then the 'Cat' on the previous page moved.
So is there anyway to specify the 'search order' for players where it looks in its current ?World/Playfield? first?
Of course the simplest answer may be for me to avoid the problem and not use books ;)
