Script Object Issues (Cannot reference my functions)

[iloreto]

Hello Experts:

I'm searching for answers regarding my inability to reference my script objects from the designer's object reference drop-down (Intelliense-style).

I also recieve an obvious runtime error: ClinicalAffiliationSiteReview.variables.MyFunctions.calcTotal_SecI() is not a function [code snippet below].

I have re-installed LiveCycle (8.1.2) to no avail. My functions still do not appear.

Is this a LC configuration issue that I need to setup?

Have I overlooked some JavaScript syntax option?

Script Object should appear on the intellisense menu, right?

I believe my function declaration to be correct.

I don't think JavaScript has member access modifiers (private, public, internal)?

I have a strong C# background, but a novice at JavaScript.

Anyfeedback or comments are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time,

Hi Ivan,

The change from using Visual Studio to using Designer is like going back a couple of decades.

The intellisense doesn't work for user defined script object functions.

But you should be able to call your function using;

     MyFunctions.calcTotal_SecI();

That is with out the "ClinicalAffiliationSiteReview.variables." part.

Bruce,

Thank you very much for your prompt response and explanation.

I can confirm that calling the function w/o the work fine.

It is even more difficult when you have concurrent projects on both environments!

The form is near completion and the next one is already drafted, LoL!

Thank you again, till next time....
