hi list.
sorry for the dispear-mial,
i just found a solution, but still don't understand the problem because:
- yes the script is a parent-script
- the on new handler isn't called anywhere.
- i erase/void all objects on stopmovie (and parentscripts have a
destroy-handler, so that they clear-up there mess when the movie stops)
and i make sure all globals are cleared.
- i'm not using a lingo.ini file
the workaround is the following;
i had copied a number of scripts (castmembers) from one running
director instance to the other and apprearantly something strange
happened there.
when i first copy the text of the script from one instance to a
text-editor (e.g. textEdit or BBEdit), and then copy the text from the
text editor into a new (empty) script in the other, everyting goes ok.
this is probably a bug related to the mac-clipboard and director ?
or maybe i'm just not supposed to run two copies of director on the
same mac, and copy stuff back and forth between them?
thanks for all feedabck

i've got about a dozen scripts, with a central parent script taking
care of the rest of the branche, but somehow one of the scripts gets
instantiated even before the startmovie-handler is called.
i'm stuck in a situation where this script already starts complaining
about not being able to find a certain object, while the other
parentscript that is supposed to instantiate the complaining script
isn't even instantiated yet.
it's even so mad, that the debugger never even reaches the breakpoint
i put on the very first line of the startmovie-handler.. as if this
script already gets called before anything else happened.
i tried to change the startmovie in preparemovie handler, but same
results.
it stops when i comment-out the 'on new' handler of that script.. or
if i completely delete the script from the cast. but ofcourse this
also disables me from instatiating it..
this is actually driving me insane...
did anyone ever had similair experiences?
or better; does anyone know a solution?
