I'm just trying to add another rollout to my floater. And everytime I do, nothing works. I have checked manual and syntax etc...I can't figure it out!? I have stripped back the code to just the rollouts, if I take the test rollout out it works...so Im stumped. Keep getting `-- Type error: addRollout requires RolloutClass, got: undefined` My code `try (closeRolloutfloater CharacterGen) catch() CharacterGen = newrolloutfloater "Character Generator" 700 700 addrollout Create CharacterGen addrollout Test CharacterGen rollout Create "Create" rollout Test "Test" ( )` Bonus Question, why can't I do math on array counts e.g array1.count * array2.count?? Help and tips appreciated! Thanks Last edited by Animare : 03 March 2013 at 01:56 PM.

lo the frequentest! portfolio Rotem Shiffman Tel Aviv, Israel Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,865	MAXScript is not a compiled language. You are trying to add a rollout before you've defined it. Try it this way: `try (closeRolloutfloater CharacterGen) catch() CharacterGen = newrolloutfloater "Character Generator" 700 700 rollout Create "Create" ( ) rollout Test "Test" ( ) addrollout Create CharacterGen addrollout Test CharacterGen` Originally Posted by Animare: Bonus Question, why can't I do math on array counts e.g array1.count * array2.count?? You most certainly can, post specific code. I'm betting on either a type issue or a parentheses issue. __________________ VFB+ : Advanced Frame Buffer for 3dsmax

With the array so for example I have 2 arrays of objects define as `BoxArray = $Box* as array SphereArray = $Sphere* as array Label Lb_Text "Answer Goes Here"` Then I want to do maths calc with them such as `BoxArray.Count * SphereArray.Count = Lb_Text.text` I even tried adding the following code `Boxes = BoxArray.Count as Integer Spheres = SphereArray.Count as Integer Boxes * Spheres = Lb_Text.text` What am I doing wrong?
