Member function not found in BrightScript Component or interface.
I have made the homescreen using the posterscreen sample
The main problem is that I keep getting this error
Member function not found in BrightScript Component or interface. (runtime error

Now this code worked before and I don't know why it wont now

Re: Member function not found in BrightScript Component or interface.
I'm going to guess and say that
is causing it. Should be no parentheses around "type" or at the end.
same here.
if (type(msg) = "roPosterScreenEvent")
is causing it. Should be no parentheses around "type" or at the end.
same here.
if (msg.isListItemSelected())

Extra parenthesis are fine, won't cause error. I don't see how the 1st line can cause the problem, so it must be the 2nd one.
And one more thing: something's wrong with the way Blackhawk posts code because there are is 1 extra empty line after every line of code, so we have to try and guess what was the line#.

You could try to change some of the above.
theme.OverhangSliceHD = "pkg:/images/Overhang_Slice_HD.png"
theme.OverhangPrimaryLogoSD = "pkg:/images/Logo_Overhang_SD43.png"
theme.OverhangPrimaryLogoOffsetSD_X = "72"
theme.OverhangPrimaryLogoOffsetSD_Y = "25"
theme.OverhangPrimaryLogoHD = "pkg:/images/Logo_Overhang_HD.png"
theme.OverhangPrimaryLogoOffsetHD_X = "123"
theme.OverhangPrimaryLogoOffsetHD_Y = "48"

Count the actual code lines aka skip comments and white spaces then stop at 22. 🙂

I think if you are taking the time to answer, you shouldn't have to count. It's courtesy. 🙂

Oh yeah. I am totally going to do that! </sarcasm>
A bit more serious - i have done that - but really people, this forum is staffed by volunteers only (unfortunately) - so if you want help, make it easy on the helpers

As a minimum, at least post the actual, complete debugger output from the time of the crash, including the "list" command output, which will list the current file, including line numbers.

I was replying to you since your statement hinted it would be guesswork to find the line while you can eliminate the guesswork by logic. Granted, I agree that topic author could have been more helpful with his/her post.
