when i type anything in a script such as on openStack or repeat for instance it use to automatically fill in "end openStack" or "end repeat" but now im using vista it does not do that. when i type on openStack and press return it puts a red x next to it and says missing "end" but it will not allow me to go to the next line to type it in so i cant really make any type of script am i missing a setting somewhere?

im using revolution studio 3 trial edition so i dont have a lot of time

any help will be very much appreciated

thanks in advance

Are you htting the 'enter' key instead of the 'return' key by any chance? The 'enter' key will compile the script (and close the editor if you hit it twice) whereas the 'return' key goes to the next line.

Hi glenc70,

Is it possible that you forgot to insert "end if" manually? "End repeat" doesn't always get inserted and sometimes it gets inserted while it shouldn't be. I'd check your (altered) syntax before blaming it on Vista (although I'd probably tend to blame it on Visita first, too).

Best,

Don’t blame it on the sunshine
Don’t blame it on the moonlight
Don’t blame it on the good times
Blame it on the Vista....

if i hit enter or return it does the same thing its mainly only when i try to add a script to the main stack what im trying to do is:

on openStack
set the backgroundColor of this stack to "red"
end openStack

but as soon as i type on openStack and press enter or return it put an error x next to it and the error says:
stack "stack": compilation error at line 2 (Handler: bad command), char 1

when i do this on an xp machine it works perfectly but my vista box keeps refusing the syntax
i have also called my stack "stack" if this helps in anyway
oh and when i type on openStack it will not let me enter anything else so i cant even put "end openStack" in manually

hopefully i have explained it a litte better

Must be something to do with your setup.
I use Rev 3.0 on Vista all the time and your script works ok for me.

what version of vista do you use (basic, premium, etc)

I use both Home Premium and Ultimate versions of Vista without any Rev problems.
I haven't noticed any differences between working on XP or Vista so far.

Hi glenc70,

I don't think that it is a good idea to call a stack stack. If a stack is called stack, stack might be parsed as stack, while you mean stack --as you can see, that's confusing :-)
