email program wants a list??

[Addie W webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

mail program isn't working it says that there's a list required where there is already a list.

getRandomState
--randomZoneNumber = random(4)
randomZoneNumber = gSerialPort.readString()
if randomZoneNumber = 0 then go to frame 12
zoneList = ["PST","MST","CST","EST"]
chosenZone = getat (zoneList,randomZoneNumber)

that's where it is in the "zoneList" that's apparently not working because "getat (zoneList,randomZoneNumber) doesn't work. So does anyone know what I need to do to get it working again?

if you want to see the actual .dir check out the referring url

Many times Director error messages dont' accurately state the problem.
Sometimes they don't even accurately show the line at fault.

Since your random function can return zero and there is never a zero
item in a list in Director, the problem may be when randomZoneNumber =
0. Your getAt function will be trying to retrieve a non-existant
element from the list.

You could fix that by changing the line above:

if randomZoneNumber = 0 then
go to frame 12
exit
end if

That will end the function at that point and not allow the function to
try and retrieve item zero from the list.

There may be some other problem, I didn't look at the original file.

Just a thought, randomZoneNumber seems to be a string, you need to convert
it to an integer to use it in a getAt statement.

because "getat (zoneList,randomZoneNumber) doesn't work. So does anyone
know what I need to do to get it working again?
