[REBOL] An interesting issue with View beta

From: anton::lexicon::net at: 8-May-2002 11:06

I ran some of my programs with the new view
beta, and many of them suffered the same bug.

Look at this code, which captures the essence of the situation:

	images: [ ... full of image!s ...] ; example

	fr: 1 ; start at frame one
	layout [
		pic: image images/1 rate 30 feel [
			engage: func [face action event][
				if action = 'time [

					fr: fr + 1 ; next frame

					face/image: images/fr

				]
			]
		]
	]

You can see the reference to images inside the engage function.
In the new view beta (1.2.5.3.1 6-May-2002), this reference
no longer resolves to the images block defined at the beginning,
as it used to. I am still trying to figure out why.

I noted that the face object contains an 'images facet.
But when

	probe images = face/images

is inserted in the engage function it prints false.

Anyone have any clues?

I have read the changes doc, but I don't see anything obvious.
Maybe it is due to the way paths are evaluated?

I was able to fix the bug by simply using a different word (frames),
but I want to understand why this has happened. It will probably
become clear with more familiarity.

Anton.
