Jean-Charles,
I think you may have misread or misunderstood my earlier message. What I stated was:
1. the correct syntax is cameraReference.removeOverlay(n), where n is an integer
number for the overlay you would like to remove, here's example that works assuming
there is at least one overlay:
sprite(1).camera.removeOverlay(1)
2. everywhere in Director's documentation that I found uses removeOverlay() (notice
the paranthesis and not the brackets) *except* that one darn line of example code in
the Lingo Dictionary that uses []
When I say "everywhere in Director's documentation" I mean that when you look in the
Lingo dictionary entry for this command, the top level syntax examples show (), the
Lingo pop-up menus show (), but that code example incorrectly uses []. My point here
wasn't about you so much as it was about us (MACR), and how important one little
documentation error can be in terms of your time (and frustration). That's all, the
mistake is on our end and I've logged this as a documentation bug already.
So, yup, there is an incorrect line of example code in the docs, but all other methods
of discerning the syntax AFAIK are in fact correct and show the use of ().
Cheers,
Tom
