>If it's an engine bug, it's of interest to the keepers of the engine.
Once we can pin down which line(s) in MC's Control Browser are at play
we should be able to provide exactly what the need to do to address it.
Moreoever, if it's truly an engine bug there's more at stake than just
the MC IDE -- any script that uses a similar method to derive a list of
controls will be similarly affected.
I ran into this one when working on one of my new creations. It seems that
something other than an integer is placed into the variable using "the
number of layers". Try this one:
create a new stack with button:
on mouseUp
-- test 1
put the number of layers of this cd into test
put "Test 1"&cr&test&cr
subtract 1 from item -1 of test
put test&cr after msg
-- test 2
put the value of the number of layers of this cd into test
put "Test 2"&cr&test&cr after msg
subtract 1 from item -1 of test
put test after msg
end mouseUp
you should see:
Test 1
1
1
Test 2
1
0
Odd hey! I've added this to the bug report.
Cheers
