MessageTip no longer working?

[paulwilliamwoods]

I've been trying to write various scripts and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what I was doing wrong with MessageTip, and NoteBox. So I got a script from the website - the one that draws circles - and it still doesn't work.

I get this error:


Any idea what's happening here?

I'm also having trouble with intarrays. I get told my subscript is the wrong one - 'bad array subscript'. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? The purpose of the script is to display a grid of different paint strokes, altering one property slightly across and one down, so I can see which settings, roughly, I want for my next stroke by looking at the grid.

I still don't know why MessageTip isn't working but the intarray problem was solved when I realised I was trying to access beyond the end of the zero-referenced array. We can be thankful that didn't work!
