Revolution Freezing or Quitting Unexpectedly

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Hi Shari,

Now that I know we're running somewhat similar environments, you've  
got my interest. First, this pList that you refer to: is this one  
that you created manually, or was it generated by RR from the objects  
and stuff that you've created. I'm assuming this is probably a  
"game"  of some sort, since that seems to be your area of focus.  
Meaning that you probably have a bunch of pictures, some sounds and  
graphics? So, though I've dealt with pLists using Future Basic, I was  
kind of the impression that was all behind me and that RR would  
generate that kind of stuff for me when it was/is required???

Sounds to me as if some of your objects just are being found when  
needed, so it just gives up. I think I'd verify the IDs/names of  
anything like this to make sure they are being adequately identified.  
Though I'm sure you've already done this, I'd make sure I didn't have  
a whole bunch of other apps running at the same time, and that  
everything you're using is "local" so you don't have any paths to  
complicate matters.

LOL,

Joe Wilkins
