Fumio,
There seems to be an error in the documentation here--the help file states
"the number of properties in a parent script without counting the
properties in an ancestor script."
I took your example through several different permutations, and count
always returns the number of objects in the ancestor.
-- Parent2
property prop1, prop2, p3, p4, p5, p6, p7
on new me
return me
end
-- Parent3
property ancestor
property p1
on new me
ancestor = script("Parent 2").new()
return me
end
p2=script("Parent 3").new()
put p2.count
-- 7
I tried it with the old syntax (p1 = new (script "Parent 3")); same results.
This is a new one on me, too--I haven't used count with objects before.
Cordially,
