Repeat Unexpectedly Aborted

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Bridger,

If you are editing a stack in the IDE, don't expect running scripts  
to stay unaffected. If you want a script to run without interruption,  
you should create a standalone or open the stack in a different IDE  
which you don't use for editing or use the DreamCard Player for  
instance.

Is the ping handler in the card or stack script? Probably it is  
interrupted because the script is "changed" (between quotes, as I"m  
sure you didn't really change it yet). After you have opened the  
script using a shortcut, look at the Revert/Apply buttons, which are  
enabled. Somehow, Revolution considers the script edited and running  
edited though unapplied scripts throws an error. Choose Edit Card/ 
Stack Script from the Object menu and you will see that the Revert/ 
Apply handlers are disabled. Revolution does not consider the scripts  
as edited and running them doesn't throw an error.

Here are 4 bug reports I could find, related to the subject:

Let's just hope that this problem will be fixed, soon.

Best regards,

Mark
