The docs are containing a couple of typos which make them difficult
to understand. Here is an example from V4MD Reference:
>Valentina Symbols
>Valentina for Director 2.0 uses many symbol constants to simplify
>coding for a deloper.
>Below you can see full list of symbols that Vaelntina understands.
>Note, that numeric values are given only for information. You should
>ner use numeric
>values.
What does this want to tell me???
- You should NOW use numeric values ?
- You should NEVER use numeric values ?
I also searched in vain for error handling in the docs which makes it
very difficult to start.
The only thing I found in Kernel reference was:
>ErrNumber as Integer [DEPRECATED]
>You cam examine this property to see if the last operation was successful...
and
>ErrString as String [DEPRECATED]
>Returns the string which describe the last error....
We found examples in the example files but I believe they should also
be contained in the documentation.
There are also errors in the V4MD examples.
examples/sql way/pictures.dir:
This file contains a startmovie script with a badly positioned "end if":
>global Valentina
>
>--
>on startMovie
>
> member("SavedImage").picture = member("Blank").picture
>
> Example_Init()
> Initialize()
>end if
>
>end startMovie
>
>
>--
>on stopMovie
>
>-- Clean up sample.
>CleanUp()
>Example_Shutdown()
>end stopMovie
