no 'type' expression

[melristau]

Need help on why I'm getting this Script compile error:
Error description: request: no 'type' expression

Code: Select all

on deletePlan
   repeat with x = 1 to 117
      if there is a group ("x"&x) then 
         delete group ("x"&x)
      else
         next repeat
      end if
   end repeat
end deletePlan

Thanks!

Hi Mel,

just tested with LC 8.02 on OS X and it compiles without error.

Using 8.01

Created a group x1

ran this:

on mouseUp
deletePlan
end mouseUp

on deletePlan
repeat with x = 1 to 117
if there is a group ("x"&x) then
delete group ("x"&x)
else
next repeat
end if
end repeat
end deletePlan

Group x1 deleted with no errors.
Repeated with Strict Compilation ticked, still all ok.

testet it to, with no problem

maybe something is corrupted in the file? are sometimes things just don't work for no good reason, but thinks that are better then things that works for no good reason.

And no error on 6.7.11 -- I'm still a holdout

Just cut and paste from the forum into a new stack, the chances are a hidden control code is in the text editor - it has happened to me before but not in livecode.
