Tom, Try stopping the program, go to the message window and type:
clearglobals It is possible that a single global object has been created from this parent script and will not be re-created until you either clearglobals or save the program, leave Director, and come back in. For example, there might be some initialization code like this: global gSomeObject if voidp(gSomeObject) then gSomeObject = new(script "TheNameOfYourParentScript") end if This would only create a new instance of thhe object when the old one is cleared. Another way to find out is to use the debugger. Set breakpoints in the area where you have made your changes and try to step through them. If you don't know how to use the debugger, you can read my article at: http://www.director-online.com/accessArticle.cfm?id=871 Irv PS: Please don't cross-post At 9:52 AM +0200 9/18/02, Tom Vandenbossche wrote: >Hi list > >I've got a cd from someone where I have to change things. >the problem is that I have to change a parent script.
