Hello all,

I'm having a vexing problem creating a miaw at runtime on Windows. The script I'm using runs fine in the _authoring_ environment on both Mac (Dir8, MacOS 9.2 in OSX shell) and Win (Dir8, Win2000P), and fine in a _projector_ on Mac, but not on Win. The offending line of code is:

thisWin.rect = anotherRect

where:

thisWin is a window object
anotherRect is a rect

I can check and set all other window parameters except rect which generates the following error at runtime:

"Object expected


Script Error. Continue?"

That is dang weird.


How about using verbose syntax?

the rect of window thisWin = anotherRect

I don't have even the faintest idea if that would make any difference, but since the error seems voodooish, perhaps a voodoo solution is the key...?

Verbose syntax nets the same error.


I've tried copying the code and pasting it into external text file, deleting the cast member, creating a new cast member elsewhere in the castLib, and pasting the code from teh text file into the new cast member. Same runtime error. :(

I've even installed Director 8 fresh on another machine (WinXP) and tired everything on it. Runs fine in authoring environment. Same error at runtime. :(

Maybe sacrificing a hamster to the Macromedia gods might help (but I seriously doubt it).
