Hi there,

how the hell does this alloctag() work? when I try to allocate new tags to an object, all I get is:
"Variable or Function expected"!

For example:

main(doc,op)  
{  
var tag = alloctag(Texpresso);  
op->InsertTag(tag)  
}

should insert a simple Xpresso-Tag, but produces the above message on compile. My cinema does not seem to know any of the possible parameters of the alloctag() function. What's the problem?

Does 'op' exist? Before calling op->InsertTag(tag); try checking for a valid object:

main(doc,op)  
{  
if (op)  
{  
var tag = AllocTag(Texpresso);  
op->InsertTag(tag);  
}  
else println("No object for tag");  
}

Make sure you have a selected object (?)

Found my error ... just the usual typing stuff with capital and small letters ...
thanks for the help, the checking still is a good idea!

It wasn't clear if 'alloctag' was just quick typing or the actual code. Glad that you resolved the problem.

Have a good weekend,
