List and strings

Could anyone tell me the correct syntax for this piece of code?
Now it will complain about that textout is expecting a string.

Code: Select all

test$={}
InsertItem(test$,"mytext")
TextOut(20, 100, test$)

Re: A few beginner questions

Hope I am not interpreting wrong here, but it sounds to me that what you really are asking here regarding gosub, function, etc. is actually matter of programming technics. I am trying to give you couple of examples here to at least scratch the surface. Thank you. You are right it also was a questio...

Re: Prefered Amiga IDE

I started to write a Hollywood script that would generate syntax highlighting files for various editors with a preview tab but without a steady job, I've been forced to conserve my coding time. If you want to continue the project, let me know. I fear that probably is way above my current HollyWood ...

A few beginner questions

I am trying to teach myself HollyWood and start with looking at some of the examples and in the manual, but I still have a few things I wonder about. Looking at CircleText.hws that have the "Repeat - waitevent - forever" loop. After reading a bit in the docs, I think I get a clue on how th...

Prefered Amiga IDE

Being a newbie at HollyWood and programming in general, I just installed HollyWood 8 both for windows and on the Amiga (winuae/amikit). The Windows version does have a nice IDE, and the Amiga version relies on external editors. I did install the Cubic IDE demo, which is restricted to 500 lines, but ...

Re: Designer 4 not recognising Hollywood 7

There might be a more serious matter for some other plugins. I found that if the polybios plugin is installed, then Designer 4.0 will not load at all. It will show the splash screen, and when it comes to loading the polybios plugin it will pop up a software failure message, and then the progress bar...
