Overlay problems

[James Watt]

I have created a script to control overlays used as labels to identify
various 3D models in a scene. Different labels are populated & removed as
overlays at different times in the animation, depending on various
selections. I cannot find a way to accurately identify the labels to be
removed other that the source command.

The problem I'm having is that the overlay[x].source command comes back with
a script error saying "Operation Disabled". I have never seen this error
before & was wondering if anyone has any ideas to the source of the problem.

Hope this makes sense,

James

IIRC, there was a bug when removing overlays. Thomas Westin came across
with this problem a couple of months ago (Google it...the subject is
"Overlay crash in Windows XP SP1"). There should be more info in another
3D lists.

Good luck,

I found the problem. I had removed the texture graphic without removing
the overlay reference. I had been trying to delete the overlays in index
order which obviously doesn't work. I just reversed the index list so that
I deleted the overlays from the highest index, down the way.
I can't believe that there is not a command in director to reverse the order
of a list...
This 3D environment will not be running under XP so I hope I have no
problems from now on.

Thanks,

James
