Trouble with Build All Flexscript

I'm having an issue converting a Flexsim 4.3 library to 4.5.2

The following Fexscript code snippet illustates the issue.

If you run it the code after the mainmenucommand("Build|Build All FlexScript") does not execute. Any idea what I've done wrong?


mainmenucommand("View|Output Console");
windowmove(systemwindow(1),7,100,768,550,1);
pr();pt("Start Test Build ALL");
mainmenucommand("Build|Build All FlexScript");
pr();pt("End Test Build ALL");

I am not sure, but the Main Menu Command is either
Build Flexscript
or
Make All Code Flexscript

I hope this was the problem ...

There exist no more entry "Build All Flexscript". It is just "Build Flexscript" or "Make All Code ...".

Tom was faster!

Tom and Jorg:

mainmenucommand() calls functions that were on Flexsim1's original menu. The menu has changed significantly since then, and the command hasn't been updated accordingly. Only certain things work for that command, and you can usually only find what those are by looking at what the code behind what various Flexsim buttons and menus are doing. Some of them use it; others do not.

Bill,

Your code is right, but you are probably calling it from a node that is toggled as Flexscript, which rebuilds that node in the build all flexscript call and thus stops execution. If you run it from a script window, it works fine.

All,

On a side note, for Flexsim 5.0, we've added another command that is more dynamic to make calling the functions on the current menu easier. The syntax is similar, but it uses the current menu rather than an old system.

Thanks Phil,

You're right if I don't toggle the node as Flexscript it works fine.
