Re: castmember creation sometimes fails ..

[Irv Kalb]

This happens when you have what you think is a parent script, but 
it's really a movie script instead.  In this script you will find 
that you have a "new" handler.  Since it is really a movie level 
handler, you are calling it when you call new and trying to generate 
a new bitmap, rather than the Director "new" handler.

Go through your scripts and change the one (or ones) that are set to 
be movie scripts to parent scripts and everything should work fine.

hi,
i'm working on a project in which a lot of castmembers are created 
dynamically using the new(#...) lingo.
usually this works great, but sometimes (such as NOW grrr...) the 
this handler doesn't create a castmember and returns a reference, 
but it just returns the #.... bit.
so for instance new(#text) returns "#text" instead of "member x of castlib y".

i don't see any logic in why it sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't.
does anyone have a clue of what's going on here?
thanks
