Confusing Errors

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Dan,

The Line Num may be zero because your stack is protected by a  
password. Sometimes the debugging tools just don't work properly and  
can't find the offending line. It also happens that the actual error  
occurs in a Revolution script library, which the debugger can't figure  
out.

Looking at the error message, I wonder whether you really put single  
quotes about stack names. If so, this is probably a cause of errors.

Something might be wrong with the variable currentTarget. Perhaps, you  
need to include something like:

if there is a currentTarget then
   -- your script
else
   beep
   answer error "Error: can't find" && currentTarget with "OK"
end if

It might help if you posted your script.
