Need Help screen getting Invalid value for left-side of expression error
Running the debugger on Visual Studio Code on a Roku channel I am creating and I am getting an Invalid value for left-side of expression error pointing at: screen = CreateObject("roSGScreen")
Here is the debugger output and main.brs code. Very new to this and would appreciate some help.
Output:
04-13 22:15:03.483 [scrpt.ctx.run.enter] UI: Entering 'NationExtremeWrestling', id 'dev'
------ Running dev 'NationExtremeWrestling' main ------
BrightScript Micro Debugger.
Enter any BrightScript statement, debug commands, or HELP.
Current Function:
001: sub Main()
002: m.top.global = {
003: api_key: "AIzaSyCn9WZzbJdT7XsQOuLYv-kQNmCFbUQ2jQI",
004:* youTubeApiBaseUrl: "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/"
005: }
006:
007: screen = CreateObject("roSGScreen")
008: m.port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
Source Digest(s):

}
screen = CreateObject("roSGScreen")
m.port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
screen.setMessagePort(m.port)
scene = screen.CreateScene("VideoScene")
screen.show()
while true
msg = wait(0, m.port)
if type(msg) = "roSGScreenEvent"
if msg.isScreenClosed() then exit while
end if
end while
end sub
The error message is actually complaining about line 4:
Invalid value for left-side of expression. (runtime error &he4) in pkg:/source/main.brs(4)
I don't think you are allowed to completely reassign m.top.global. so try doing m.top.global.api_key = "AIzaSyCn9WZzbJdT7XsQOuLYv-kQNmCFbUQ2jQI"
m.top.global.youTubeApiBaseUrl = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3"
Also, m.top.global.might not be assigned at that phase.of the app. So it might still fail.
