Loading Files - Weird problem with file object.

[ukcode]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to do something extremely simple in MMF2, and it's something I'm sure I've done plenty of times, in exactly the same way, with no trouble. Alas, it's just not happening today...

All I'm trying to do is load a .txt file into a list object. Simple, right? Here's how my code looks:


User clicks on "Import" button
-[color:#3366FF] Open load selector on ""[/color]

Only one action when event loops
+ selected file is a file
- [color:#3366FF]List object load selected file[/color]

The first file I load with the file selector is imported into the list without any problem. But any file selections I make after that just don't seem to be getting registered.

I've tried all sorts of variations on this. Checking if the file is readable, checking if the file is writable, checking if it exists, changing the event order, writing the path to an edit box and trying to load the file that way but it's just NOT happening!

I even tried a reinstall because this was so frustrating, but it's not changed anything. The worst part is, I've done this loads of times in the past... Did something get broken?

Appreciate any help, thanks guys

I get the samme error. Maybe a bug in the latest build of MMF2?
I even try with Last action is ok + only one action when event loops, and still not working.

But this will work:

* User clicks on "Import" button
- File object: Open load selector on ""
- List: Reset
- List: Load selected file

Hey Popcorn - glad I'm not alone on this issue!

It's strange, I don't know why this has started happening - but your solution works perfectly man, thanks a lot!

Hi ukcode. Maybe you could also put this in the b252 subforum as a bug report.

Thanks

This is not a bug, it is an intentional and very useful feature. It is meant so that you can add to the list by loading from multiple files without losing the information from previous files. The file loaded is appended to the end of the list. I find this feature to be extremely useful
