Technical Q&AAMT_PE 24 - Storing an Array Name in a Field in Another Array (1-Aug-95)The Apple Media Tool and Apple Media Tool Programming Environment products have been discontinued. For more information check out: AMT/PE Discontinued. Q I am having a problem accessing items from arrays with other arrays. I get a runtime error:File 'SERVER DRIVE:PROJECTS:TEST:LBB PROJECT WITH AMTCX:SOURCES:ALPHADB.K'; Line 89 # K call: MESSAGE has no _COUNT! I use the following code to extract the name of a particular array and make CurrentAlphaIndex refer to that particular array: self.CorrectAlphaArray := self.AlphaArray; self.CurrentAlphaIndex := (self.CorrectAlphaArray @ self.CurrentRec @ 3); This is the line it stops working on: while (loopIndex <= #(self.CurrentAlphaIndex @ LineNum @ 2)) loop
What gives?
In other words, the parser is reading: self.CurrentAlphaIndex @ LineNum @ 2 as: self.CurrentAlphaIndex := (self.CorrectAlphaArray @ (self.CurrentRec @ 3)); However, what you mean is: self.CurrentAlphaIndex := ((self.CorrectAlphaArray @ self.CurrentRec) @ 3); This is also true for the other line: while (loopIndex <= #(self.CurrentAlphaIndex @ LineNum @ 2)) loop
The solution is to use parentheses to specify what you want. |
