LoadString() of Null

Monkey Forums/Monkey Programming/LoadString() of Null

c.k.	(Posted 2012) [#1]

Using this snippet,

[monkeycode]
Print LoadString("mazes/1.txt")
' or even
Local fString:String = LoadString("mazes/1.txt")
[/monkeycode]

I get this error:

Monkey Runtime Error : TypeError: Cannot call method 'LoadString' of null

The file exists, so I have no idea why this isn't working. :-/

Clues, solutions, welcome.

Hi,

LoadString is a Mojo function, and Mojo functions can only be called once OnCreate is executed.

So LoadString needs to go inside OnCreate (or later).

I have it inside a Main() function of a module I've created. I run the module when I want to test the functionality of the module. I'm trying to load a string from a file, then pass that loaded string to a constructor, which, apparently, I can't do. Soooo... my options are:

+ Make a constructor that receives a filename
+ Wrap the testing inside a class

What's best?
