I think you have miss that in V2 you MUST create object Valentina

      Valentina = new (Xtra("Valentina"))

Please look into V4MD/Examples/Common/Init_Shutdown


Here go to ValentinaGlobals to see such code:

------------------------------------------
on InitializeValentinaReferences ()
  
  -- Whether we will use examples in client-server mode
  gClient = false
  Valentina = new (Xtra("Valentina"))



Button Init of this example have script.
Note that "Valentina" this is name of global variable here.
Actually it can be any other name, e.g. "Vengine"

------------------------------------------
global Valentina

on mouseUp me
  -- First of all we must init Valentina engine
  Valentina.Init( 8 * 1024 * 1024, "", "" )
  if not CheckValError() then
    -- The next line helps you debug code using "Valentina for Director"
    Valentina.debugLevel = #kLogFunctions
    
    -- Enable logging to the text file.
    Valentina.logToFile(true, false)
    
    put Valentina.cacheSize into field "CacheSize"
    put Valentina.version into field "Version"
    put Valentina.debugLevel into field "DebugLevel"
  end if
  
end
