Help! I am totally stumped after 4 very long days of trying to figure this

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your response! I'm rather vague on how the listToString
functions...do I then say something like:
put linearListOfStrings into field entry ?
In other words, how do I get this to appear in my field or text sprite?

Hi Chris,
Basically, yes. But it is good coding practice to make code that may be used in
multiple places into its own handler (even better to make it a handler of a parent
script, but that can wait for now).
So instead, you would do something similar to the following:

Hi Neil,
I'll try to explain and give the relevant code without getting to windy.
I have a global database gDatabase
in movie script

gDatabase = [:]

Yeah, parent scripts--have read about them.. but... I'm

Your message header says:

Though it only goes back a year, from the time we moved to MailMan.
Somehow I have to figure out how to archive all the previous years when we
were under majordomo software. I started the list in, I think,

One can also look at
specifically, make sure you create an instance of the script you're
attaching to the sprite like so:
y = script(stuff).new()
sprite(newChannel).scriptInstanceList.add(y)
You can download a sample movie which creates a sprite on the fly and
then uses scriptInstanceList here:
--Ok, This works fine for adding a behavior
On beginSprite me
sprite(7).setScriptList([[(member 8 of castLib 1), [#pConstrained:
0]]])
end beginSprite
--But, Shouldn't this remove it???
on endSprite me
(7).setScriptList([])

Hi Chris
Here's some code for you to play with in an empty movie.
Hopefully it shows how you can set your #qualifications property up and be
able to access and set the data inside of it.
Just paste this into a movie script (watch for line breaks)
global gDatabase
on startMovie
gDatabase = [:]

Not if you haven't specified that 7 is a sprite:
sprite(7).setScriptList([])
However, again, check this list's archives, Macromedia's
You can even do this easier via
gDatabase[#date] = Today
gDatabase[#name] = LingoSlingers
Or in one line via
gDatabase = [#date: Today, #name: Lingoslingers]
Course I'd be careful using 'lingo' words as props, ie #date (date
object) and name (member prop)

Hi Warren,
Just read your sections on lists and OOP from your book. The examples you
used helped it click! I'm a visual thinker, never was good in logic or
algebra and your examples are excellent for people like me! You can bet I'm
going to add your book to my Director library.
Thanks!
Chris
I know exactly what you mean about visuals! To understand Director's
scripting hierarchy I imagine a little postal worker with a piece of mail
running around in a corporation asking if the piece of mail(with a script in
it) is for this or that big muckety-muck. It really helps! Especially when
