Generic Stack Resize scrip throwing (odd?) error
Posted: Sat Nov 09, 2013 11:24 am
Hi,
Having played around with MobGUI for a bit and although I've looked at various resize scripts both here and on other forums I've been playing around with creating a generic Stack resize script that handles much of what I've seen plus text scaling within buttons and fields etc...
So, I figured my code block may look something like
-1- cycle through each card...
-2- cycle through each control
-3- modify each control's X, Y etc. etc.
-4- note if there was any text (like a button name, field content etc) and then modify the font size
-5- do any other adjustments according to control 'type'
next control
next card
Seems pretty simple - at least the thought process seems pretty straight forward...
So, first:
Just to create the 'cycle though' / repeat loops and 'see' a list of controls :
(some test code)
local nCS, nCrd, nCtrls, nCtrlID, sCtrl, sCtrlType --create the necessary variables...
put the number of cards of this stack into nCS
repeat with nCrd = 1 to nCS --cycle through each card
put the number of controls of card nCrd into nCtrls
if nCtrls > 0 then
repeat with nCtrl = 1 to nCtrls --cycle through each control on the current card
put the name of control nCtrl into sCtrl --This is MY Control name
put word 1 of sCtrl into sCtrlTyp --This is the Control Type (Button, filed, image, group...)
put word 3 of sCtrl into nCtrlID --This is LC's control name (unique Control ID)
end repeat
end if
end repeat
This code runs as expected until control # 21 on any card - when it fails at the 'put the name of control nCtrl... (the first line of the repeat through each control structure...) !
Upon failure I receive the message:
Stack... : execution error at line... (Chunk: no such object) near "21", char 26
So, typing :
put the long id of control 21 of card nCrd -- change nCrd to any valid card number you like - where there are more than 20 controls on it)
produces a result like :
field id 2086543 of group id 2086537 of group id 1112377 of group id 1112375 of group id 1112368 of card id 1112149 of stack "/Users/Trax/Documents/My Projects/.....
So... ? ? ?
What the heck's going on here ?
Any ideas where Im going wrong please ?
Much appreciated...
EDIT 1: In desperation, I tried this in LC V5.5.4 and came up the same result
Currently I'm using (by default) LC V6.1.2
So, it's my code/logic... but where / why... arghhhh ?!
