I have a simple calculation application i am trying to get working but i cannot seem to "set text fields" to a default value.

I am using Xcode 2.0 with 10.4.3

here is the relevant code

on awake from nib theObject

tell window of theObject

set the contents of text field "X" to "0"

set the contents of text field "y" to "0"

updateDisplay(theObject)

end tell

end awake from nib

the error i get is

"Can't make contents of text field "x" of window of window id 1 into type reference. (-1700)"

if i drop the tell window line i get

"Can't make contents of text field "x" into type reference. (-1700)"

later in the script in response to a button click this line works fine

on clicked theObject

tell window of theObject

try

set the contents of text field "x" to theXvar

on error

set the contents of text field "x" to "error"

end try

end tell

end clicked

anyone have amy insight on what i am doing wrong ?

thanks

stimpy
