Grouping objects

[AndrewNock]

Hey all, finally getting some movement on my crane, just having issues grouping
the objects and rotating them all etc... what am I doing wrong!

--------------------------------
global craneMove
global rotationValue

property gMainArm


on start

-------- Assign Groups ------------
gMainArm = member("Crane").newGroup("MainArm")

member("Crane").model("Arm1").parent = gMainArm
member("Crane").model("Arm2").parent = gMainArm
member("Crane").model("Rope").parent = gMainArm

end

on rotateLeft

gMainArm.rotate(0,0,1)

end

-----------------------------------------------

This throws up the error: Script Error: Object expected -
gMainArm.rotate(0,0,1)


Any help would be much appreciated. Ta

I assume that this is a Movie Script. Try changing 'property gMainArm' to
'global gMainArm'. Movie Scripts aren't designed to use properties; the
existence of a property with the same name as a local variable renders the
local variable unusable.

Hi, thanks for that,

unfort now it comes up saying

'Object has been deleted'


We think its a scope issue, as when i run the code through the message window, it works fine

Don't worry, all fixed. After stepping though all the code in my mind (and after a needed coffee) I realised that it calls the group then calls resetWorld() behaviour which must delete groups...
