I've developed a pretty complex "story reading" Shockwave game that has a
lot of streamed audio, text highlighting, etc.
Suddenly, on this line of Lingo:
member("ass" & liColumnNum,
"Question").paragraph[miPlayingParagraph].foreColor = glConst.kiNoHilite
I'm getting the error:
Handler not found in object:
#getPropRef
Huh, wha? My code doesn't even contain the word "getPropRef" anywhere...not
on that line, and certainly nowhere else (I did a global search). And I
can't find it anywhere in the Lingo Dictionary, and there's no mention of it
in Macromedia support.
The following facts have been verified in the debugger in authoring mode
(the error is reproducible in authoring mode and in the browser):
The liColumnNum variable is local, and has the integer value of 1 in it.
It's initialized in the line immediately before this one. The "ass1" member
of the "Question" castlib exists and is a valid text member. The
miPlayingParagraph variable is a property of the child object containing
this script, and it has the integer value of 1. It's initialized when an SWA
member is played. The referenced text member has at least one paragraph of
text in it when this line is invoked. The glConst variable is global and
contains a property list which contains a bunch of (45 or 50) constant
values that I use throughout the game. That global variable is declared at
the top of the parent script. The kiNoHilite property of that property list
does exist, and has the integer value of 255. I've copied the
"glConst.kiNoHilite" text from the script itself and pasted it into the
message box and evaluated it to verify I hadn't typed it wrong. The correct
value is in there. I retyped the entire line just to make sure there wasn't
some funky invisible control character in there. This line of Lingo is used
almost verbatim in the same child object (with the "ass" string changed to
"kass" to reference a different text member in the samde castlib), and I
never have any problems with that line. This seems to be the only line that
does it.
What the heck is going on here?
