yes, this was indeed the problem. actually two parentscripts were of type moviescript.

thanks for respons,
what irv writes could be possible cause,
i'll look into that tomorrow, it happened to me before that i created a new script, not looking if i was actually creating a parentscript or movie-script..
although i'm afraid this isn't the problem this time, because in the same script it sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. my logics tell me that this movie-script-thing is the cause, it should be consistent.. but i'll see tomorrow.
and roymeo; i don't really understand what you mean, since the text "new(#text)" is hardcoded in the lingo.
and besides: it also fails when i test it in the message window, where it otherwise will also work for me..
it's just as if Director is in a bad mood sometimes..

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.
