I keep getting a quite strange error in Dir 8 if I attempt to
access the 51th timer object stored in the timeoutList,
that's, for i = 51:
"Index out of range (the timeoutList[i]).forget()"
The code below may be used to try to reproduce the error.
I roughly embedded it pretty all into a startMovie handler, so it
needs a unique copy & paste operation. This is quite different
from the app I used 100 timers in, though the type of script into
which the code is located seems not affecting the reproduction
of the error.
In this code, the name of each timer is set equal to the index i
converted to string. The error occurs just for i = 51, mode = 1.
If mode <> 1 the objects are addressed by name instead of by their
index in the timeoutList, and this works regularly.
----------
on startMovie
-- Fill timeoutList with 100 timers
repeat with i = 1 to 100
timeOut(string(i)).new(20, #getEv) -- target left void
end repeat
cnt = the timeoutList.count()
put cnt -- (that's 100)
mode = 1 -- Set mode = 0 to address each object by name (no error)
if mode = 1 then
-- Empty the list by addressing each object by index - error
repeat with i = 1 to cnt
put i
(the timeoutList[i]).forget()
end repeat
else
-- Empty the list by addressing each object by name - no error
repeat with i = 1 to cnt
timeOut(string(i)).forget()
end repeat
end if
-- Show the final content of the list (that's 0)
put the timeoutList.count()
end
on getEv
-- do nothing
end
