Custom properties and custom property sets should have 1-word names. Somewhere in the docs it says otherwise, but having a space in the name of a custom property caused me trouble at one point, which was fixed when I made sure it just had a single-word name.
Another one that comes to mind is the repeat for each element control structure... The internal order in which keys are stored in a custom prop is not sorted alphabetically - so, if you need to search in order, you might be better off doing something like this: Set the custompropertyset of me to "scheduledItems" Put the customkeys of me into tKeys Sort tKeys Repeat for each line L in tKeys If the scheduleditems[L] of me contains "my search string" then Do whatever it needs to do End if End repeat There are other quirks as well, just don't recall them off the top of my head. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of keith Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 1:32 PM To: How to use Revolution Subject: RE: array info request (was: Re: Rant Re Rev Documentation) Sometime around 25/7/05 (at 12:55 -0400) Lynch, Jonathan said: >In simplest terms: > >In Revolution, an array is a container that holds keys, and each key is >a variable.

Any hints for things I should perhaps try to avoid? I know learning happens fast when you have to debug stuff, but it would be *very* nice (especially for my wife's sanity) if I could side-step a few things from the start! :-) Thanks for all this info BTW! k ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
