Here's a good head scratcher. The recent thread about upgrading to
2.7.4 was incentive for me to finally do so. Everything went smoothly
and I made various personal changes I prefer such as adding the keyboard
shortcut command-E to the Script Editor so I can easily open the
Variable Watcher during debugging. Then when I used it, only in certain
scripts, I got the error:
Keys: Parameter is not a variable
It appears the offending line in my script was:
set the decorations of stack "•Standards•" to title
If I make "title" a literal, as in:
set the decorations of stack "•Standards•" to "title"
I have no more problems, for the moment.
Anybody got any ideas?
I get this same error all the time, and Ken finally cleared it up for me
the other day. In your example, "title" is a reserved word in
Revolution, and without the quotes it is seen by the debugger as an
invalid variable name. Decorations are supposed to be in quotes anyway;
not putting them in quotes is handled in a forgiving fashion by the
engine in some cases but not in all.
In my case, I was using a variable called tExt (for storing the
extension of a file name) and the engine saw it as the word "text" --
also a reserved word and therefore not a variable.
Gotta watch those.
