Strange Rev 3.5 problem

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi,

You might have something like this:

local s
on mouseUp
     local s
     put s
end mouseUp

which should be either

on mouseUp
     local s
     put s
end mouseUp

or

local s
on mouseUp
     put s
end mouseUp

If you use local s in multiple handlers, then the error will show up for every handler containing local s, until you remove the local s that's outside your handlers.

Best regards,
