Unexpected Type Error

I downloaded you code and created a project in Eclipse. I have seen two problems:

- ScalableTextDrawer.mc line 138: "text.length" should be "text.length()" - it is not a field but a method
- In Dimension.mc you have

function initialize(width, height) {
width = width;
height = height;
}


but it must be

function initialize(w, h) {
width = w;
height = h;
}


There might be more, but this should get you over this problem...

FYI, you can also write...

function initialize(width, height) {
self.width = width;
self.height = height;
}

Thanks. I usually use "this" in Java but i did not find that in the online docs. So now i will use 'self' thanks

Is it possible to get better error output from the simulator regarding the length vs length() problem?

A thanks. i looked for this in the docs but did not find it but self is also good :-)

No... The output from the simulator is not good...
