on startMovie initializing-problem?

[SimonBaum webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

hello

i would like to store the data that is entered into the text field in property lists which are then stored in a global linear list. so i can store the whole data with setPref on the harddisk.

unfortunately i get the following script error message when i push the send-button:

list expected for handler
add gList, adresse
#add

i don't understand this, the gList is initialized in the first frame?
thanks for your answers

-- script on the send-button:

global gList

on mouseUp

adresse=[:]

addProp adresse,#name1,member("name1").text
addProp adresse,#prename,member("prename").text
addProp adresse,#village,member("village").text

add gList, adresse
setPref "milo", string(gList)
go to frame 10
end

script in the first frame:

global gList

on startMovie
gList=[]
member("name").text=""
member("vorname").text=""
member("ort").text=""
end

Hi Simon,

The logic in your code is fine, it sounds like it's the location of
the code that's causing the problem. You can't actually use the
startMovie handler on a behavior script (frame script). Instead, you
either want to make that script cast member a movie script (if you
don't know how to do this -- check the cast member properties / script
tab, there's a dropdown that lets you choose behavior/parent/movie),
or change it from 'on startMovie' to 'on enterFrame'

because the frame script will recognize enterframe where startMovie
will only be recognized as a global handler in a movie script.

Best,
Katharine
