swap the string function around as below. the string function which turns a variable
into a string is a standalone function and should not have been part of the object
nMem:
on InsertMembers
repeat with nMem = 1 to 5
mTextMember = new ( #text, castlib("Internal" ))
mTextMember.text = "This is member number" && string(nMem)
mTextmember.name="cast member"&&nMem
end repeat
END InsertMembers
more importantly though, do you understand what this handler is doing and how it is
doing it. If you are trying to learn lingo at the same time it is kind of important
that you see what each component does.
