Hi John,
Have you looked at “$myCoolObject" in the Debugger? Does a property named
"action" exist?
I just tried passing an object argument. The assignment in your line below
works, provided the object passed actually exists (i.e., is at a minimum an
empty object "{}"):
--
C_Object($myCoolObject;$1)
$myCoolObject:=$1
--
But your line below will fail when the property name “action" does **NOT**
exist:
--
If($myCoolObject.action=“Startup”) // this will generate a syntax error.
End If
--
When trying to retrieve a property, "OB SET" and "OB Get” work, whether or not
the property name exists.
But object dot notation appears to require that the property name **already
exists** before getting or setting its value.
