[Help] OnGetScriptMenu not executing by Amec on 02-08-2009 at 03:52 PM
Ok, well. In this project, I have 3 source files:
1. Menu.js - object I created for easily editing the menu
2. Window.js - object I created for keeping track of PlusWnds
3. Main.js - creates objects and stuff
In Main.js, when I create a global variable like so:
code:the OnGetScriptMenu function isn't called when I click on the menu. Commenting this line out, or changing the name, fixes the problem. The variable is not referenced anywhere.
var windows;
Now, I had this same problem a few days ago, in a different script, with a different variable name, which was "scriptMenuCache", which works fine in this script. (global both times) Wtf is going on?

The problem is that your variable has the same name as the Windows function.
Either name the variable oWindows or name the function xWindows or something to differentiate between the two.

Isn't JScript case sensitive...?

Well let me put it this way. The moment I changed the variable name it worked when I changed it back it didn't. Then I changed the function name and it worked.

Ok, well what was happening in my other script then? There was no function called "scriptMenuCache".

quote:The problem with Plus! is the way the files are loaded if will load the file that is the same name as the script so if you globally declare a variable that references another function that hasn't been loaded yet you wont get an error but the script wont work.
