I think, i mentioned it already some time ago for some previous version .. but just in case, i didn't:

When defining own constants like

Code: Select all

Const #MYCOLOR = $004353

You can't use those constant in TextOut-Objects *IF* you want to compile the script to a machine binary (tested with amigaos3 and amigaos4):

Code: Select all

TextOut(0,0,"[color=#MYCOLOR]bla bla[/color]");

This gives an error about "unknown" constant. When executing the script directly (without compiling it to some machine binary), the line above works.

Predefined constants, like #RED do always work -- only self defined constants don't work.

Yes, that's a bug. It's already fixed though in my current builds because Allanon reported this bug earlier but in a different context. User-constants also didn't work when using @INCLUDE with applets. But it's the same bug (user constants were not exported correctly to applets/executables).
