Ok i have this bizzare issue happening with my maxscript.
It only happens when I open my script for the first time after max loads....

i create a rollout(as a dialog), a subrollout which has more rollouts on it.

so to access these i have for example...
myMainRollout.mySubRollout.myRolloutTransforms.open

Ok now the first time i load max, then run the script and try to access anything from myMainRollout i get errors, but ONLY the first time.

example
myMainRollout.mySubRollout.rollouts[1].open
returns the error
-- Unknown property: "mySubRollout" in undefined

So i assume this is a problem with "myMainRollout", however if i put those commands in the maxscript listener the issue do not occur....

Any ideas whats goin on with this?

this sounds like a scope issue,

sounds like the rollout is out of scope
check the scope of the subrollout

I used to face similar problems with my scripts earlier, when I didn't take care of my variables.
When I started declaring/initializing them, the problem dissapeared.
