Hi Yo
Try this using a movie script or set it as a handler within an object or
behaviour etc..
<movie script starts>
on mCountListItem (vList, listItem)
i = 0
repeat with j = vList.count down to 1
if vList[j] = listItem then
i = 1 + 1
end if
end repeat
return i
end mCountListItem
</movieScript ends>
<message window text>
MyList=[#d,#a,#b,#c,#b,#a]
put mCountListItem MyList,#a
-- 2
Sincerely
Mark
