function blah does not exist....but it does!
Dec 9th, 2008, 10:05pm  
I just downloaded 1.0.1 and ran my project a few times and closed it. When I came back to it I get this error message.

The function soSetup() is in its own file. Seven files altogether. None seem to be there even though I can edit/save them.

I had this happen a long time ago and all it took was renaming the file and then all was well. Renamed it back to the original name and it still worked....not this time.

Any suggestions?

bump....guess this means no one else has ever had this problem? I don't like that at all.

I got the program to work.

Make a new folder called test and wrote a function
"void blah(int n){" with just a comment and NOW the program runs fine. Take it away and it stops workiong again.

Oh well.

Just an update.....found the problem. One too few } in draw().

I had remmed out a bunch of code and was cleaning it up and something didn't look right with the way the {} were lining up. Counted and I was missing one. No error message except for the next function did not exist.

I kind of see where that came from now too.

So if you have a "function does not exist" error, check your {}'s!

The same error message appears if you declare a function twice. This happened to me after doing a copy & paste instead of a cut & paste, and I scratched my head for a while before catching it.
