Sorry, I really don�t think that your failure rate is so low. I would
assume that it is much higher than that. How about 99.9%?
I keep getting this error message. Could you help me please? I would
appreciate it very much.
When I try to attach a script to a sprite, I receive this message:
Some of the behaviors you selected cannot be attached to the sprites you
created
Continue Cancel
If I chose continue, the script doesn�t run. There is an error message. I
can�t even use the debugger.
What is wrong?

I placed this on my link to the next page arrow button. However, when I run
this code through the debugger and set the breakpoint at
repeat with i = 1 to 100
I get the following messages
i = <void>
sprNum = <void>
Why are my variables void?

This is what is stated in the Lingo Dictionary:
Function; converts an integer, floating-point number, object reference,
list, symbol, or other nonstring expression to a string.
Example This statement adds 2.0 + 2.5 and inserts the results in the field
cast member Total:
member("total").text = string(2.0 + 2.5)
I don�t quite understand this.
However, I read this in Gary Rosenzweig�s book Pg 241
The other basic type of variable is the string, which stores a series of
characters. Strings can be as simple as a single character , as complex as
words, lines, or pages of text, or can even contain no characters at all.
I presume that this is what you mean. But what does this have to do with
the number 10?

So it is used only for sprites?
And the description list can be empty in the beginning?
If I wanted to use the getPropertyDescriptionList for going to any of the
markers in my movie, is it possible?
I am trying to apply what you have taught me:
on get PropertyDescriptionList
if the currentMarker = 0 then exit
return\
[ \
#pMarker: \
[ \
#comment : �Destination marker� \
#format : #marker, \
#default : -- what do I put here?
] \
]
end getPropertyDescriptionList
I�m sorry, but I am still not sure.
a. Am I declaring the correct properties?
b. The #format is a marker and not an integer?
c. Do I initialize any variables / declare any property?
Thanks very much
Genevieve
