I experience a strange problem with Processing.

I made a sketch containing many files. Everything worked fine, until I wrote the following function:

1. int[] get_faller_times(int level_in, int stage_in) {
2.   int[] faller_ts;
3.   if (level_in == 1 && stage_in == 1) {
4.     faller_ts = {
5.       220,
6.       380,
7.       400, 450,
8.       510, 530,
9.       600, 600, 600, 600, 650, 680,
10.       800, 820, 840, 860, 880,
11.       900, 910, 920, 930, 940, 950, 960, 970, 980, 990,
12.       1450, 1450,
13.       1550, 1550,
14.       1630, 1660, 1690,
15.       1720, 1750, 1770, 1790,
16.       1850, 1850, 1850, 1850, 1850, 1850,
17.       1900, 1910, 1920, 1950, 1960, 1970,
18.       2050, 2060, 2070,
19.       2100, 2110, 2120,
20.       2200, 2200, 2200, 2200, 2200, 2200
21.     };
22.   }
23.   else {
24.     faller_ts = {
25.     };
26.   }
27.   return faller_ts;
28. }

When trying to run the sketch, Processing threw an error:

unexpected token: {

pointing to the closing '}' on the last line of a different file in the sketch.

Strange thing is, the error persists even when I undo all the changes. No matter what I do, I can't get rid of the error.

I also didn't find this in the forum.... sorry if this is known already. I'm fairly new to Processing -.-

edit: even when I copy-paste all the code to a different Processing instance, creating tabs as necessary and save the project with a new name, the error reappears.

Hello everyone!

I'm new to the forum and relatively new to processing, just starting to get a bit more serious with it. I didn't know any Java before.

I'm getting a "Cannot find anything named "token" when running my sketch, and I can't figure it out by myself, so please help. I should say that I don't expect the sketch to run right now, as I didn't implement all class methods - I'm rather doing a show-me-whats-the-next-problem-style debugging approach to constructing the program.

What I have is a class (in a different file as setup() and draw() are, but I guess that shouldn't be a problem?):

1. class Token {
2.   float life;
3.   Token () {
4.     println("token creator");
5.     life = 30;
6.   }
7.   void display() {
8.     stroke(30, 100, 100);
9.     strokeWeight(3);
10.     fill(30, 60, 100);
11.     ellipse(mouseX, height-height/10, 10, 10);
12.   }
13. }

Then, in my setup() function, I say

1.   Token token = new Token();

which works as far as I can see. However, in draw(), when the line

1.   token.display();

gets read by Processing, it throws the error:

Cannot find anything named "token"

I'm clueless, since I thought I created "token" in setup(). Any clues?
