Hi Gopinath
Just one little thing to try in addition to all of the suggestions, check to
see that you are infact working with a parent script and not a movie script.
Right click (windows) or Option click (is that right?) on the mac on top of
the script castmember and choose castmember properties and make sure it says
parent script in the dialogue. I've seen errors like this crop up from time
to time when the script type was set wrong. Just a suggestion.
Sincerely
Mark
