multiple instances of one active - looping through them [MFA]

[cfullerNY]

Hi All. In my attached MFA, you can click on an active and draw a line out from it, and once you let go, the active will follow the path of that line.

While the active is 'walking' along that path, you can then click on the same active to pause its walking and draw a NEW line, and the active will then follow that new line.

There is a 2nd instance of the same active, and you can click on this one to drag a line and have it walk. You can freely switch between the two.

The design breaks down when you have one active walking and you click to draw a line for the 2nd one to walk. Everything becomes muddled.

Can anyone take a peek at my MFA and give me some insight? I have a feeling it'll be a very quick fix for someone with a bit more chops than I have.

Thanks very much.

later edit: I think the issue is how I'm always spreading value in the walking path objects (line 10). will look into this.

Very nice, you've done it! I haven't looked into *how* yet, but this is very nice work! Hopefully others will be able to use this as well. thanks.
