You probably have what you think is a parent script, but the type of
script is movie script. In this script you have a "new" handler.
When you call new passing #text or #bitmap, it is going to this
handler and returning the thing that is passed in, #bitmap or #new.
Look through your scripts for an "on new me" handler, and you'll find
the one that is a movie script. Change it to be a parent script and
things will probably work just fine.

Hi guys I used to use the following line
TextOb = new(#text) -- local text obj
And it would return a nice #member for me to place text into (least I
think it was a #member)
But now it returns the type #symbol and code like
TextOb.font = "Times new roman" doesn't work anymore.
Any ideas what I have done to change the way this works?
I swear I didn't change anything ;o)
Also on a similar note I looked up the help file where it says...
set newMember = new(#bitmap)
After the line has been executed, newMember will contain the member
reference to the cast member just created:
put newMember
-- (member 1 of castLib 1)
Well if I paste in the code above the message window shows '#bitmap' not
the member 1 of etc!!
