Hi proza,

use brackets and it will work

repeat with i=1 to whatever
put i into field ("f" & i)
end repeat

Rev will evaluate the string first to "f1", "f2" etc.

P.S.
But an array is a complete different animal

Hi firends,

I think the way to go is to use the new browser external, QuickTime is a nice but half-baked solution.

This way you can have the latest Flash movies*** inside your Rev app and noone can tell the difference

***and EVERYTHING that runs in a browser!

Hi maxs,

check the "play" command in the docs.
