Hi, I am on my second week learning to use QF, so forgive me if this is an obvious question.



When in code view, I tried to change the value of the following assignment:

init tone := default

to one of the values in the list that appears on the right (any of them):

init tone := default_tone



However, when I compile, I receive : Error Status_toggle line 16: Parse error Unrecognized initialization value



What does that mean?



Thanks,

Ata

The item default_tone is actually a variable and not a constant. You can only initialize variables (using init) to constants not to other variables.



The default_tone and default_toneerror variables have another purpose. If you leave the objects tone and tone_error properties as default they end up using the the default_tone and default_toneerror variables values via the function that our standard objects call named _PlayTone. Here is the code for that function to understand how this works:





Having given a brief explanation of how default_tone and default_toneerror work let me show you how to create a couple constants you could initialize your tone variable to. Here is some code for example you can put in globals:



Now you can use these constants to initialize tone and/or tone_error properties.





Of course your other option is to not change the objects tone or tone_error properties at all from defaults and change the default_tone and default_toneerror properties found in globals.

Thanks Ron,

leave it tome to pick the two items from the list I wasn't supposed to pick I did pick others from the list and they compiled fine. Thanks for the quick lesson.
