Assign idiom

["Leigh McRae" <leigh.mcrae@...>]

Hi all,

 

  I find myself repeating the same type of code over and over.  Is there an idiom for this type of thing?

 

self.spBackGround = CreateSprite()

 

local    sp = self.spBackGround

sp:setSize( 10, 10 )

 

  I am looking for something along the lines of:

 

local    sp = self.spBackGround = CreateSprite()

sp:setSize( 10, 10 )
