JScript problem
hi,
I have a weird problem. I sometimes need to import Blender Shape keys into Unity, and I always used MetaMorph developed by Foolish Frost without problem. In one recent project, however, I got tons of compiling errors. I finally got around by modifying an old project with a working MetaMorph script into the new one. But the problem kept gnaw at me and I feel uneasy not knowing what's wrong. I included both the error messages from one function and the corresponding function definition below. Hopefully someone can tell me what's wrong.

All of the error messages you posted are really the same problem appearing in different forms. The problem is that the standard array class doesn't return an array, an animation, a String, a number, or anything really usable. It returns a generic Object. The only thing the program knows about this object that it's a packet of data in Unity. Not terribly useful.
Here's my recomendations:
DON'T use the Array() class if you can avoid it. I've never gotten it to work. ever. Use standard "built-in" arrays.
Declare the contents of your arrays explicitly.
For example, if you want to work with a 2-d Array of Strings, try this:
var myArray : String[,] = new String[4,2];
myArray[0,1] = "A string";
for(var X : int = 0; X < myArray.Length(0); X++)
for(var Y: int = 0; Y < myArray.Length(1); Y++)
{
myArray[X,Y] = "(" + X + ", " + Y + ")";
Debug.Log(myArray[X,Y]);
}
If you replace Every instance of the Array() class with a builtInArray[], then your problems should go away.
