Has anyone encountered an error where they get a nil error like this?
Runtime error
?:0: attempt to index a nil value
stack traceback:
[C]: ?
?: in function ‘?’
?: in function <?:215>
I’m trying to hunt down this error, but I can’t seem to find the cause of it, and the stack trace doesn’t help at all. Anyone have any idea how to get better debugging info?

Looks like it has to do with timer.performWithDelay when I set the number of iterations to a non-zero value the error appears. When set to 0 it doesn’t appear. [import]uid: 27183 topic_id: 11905 reply_id: 43433[/import]
anyone have any luck with this?? It seems in my case to be related to dispatching events from timer handlers … really frustrating as the error is so unhelpful. [import]uid: 81475 topic_id: 11905 reply_id: 60240[/import]

Basically, I had to reimplement the event dispatching functions and the errors went away.

thanks very much don!!!
simply adding :
local loqsprite = require(‘loq_sprite’)
loq_listeners(myObj);
fixed all my problems dispatching from myObj
Great stuff!!!

coolio 
btw, loq_listeners is in ‘loq_util’
so this would be a minimal example:
require('loq\_util')
loq\_listeners(myObj) Cheers [import]uid: 27183 topic_id: 11905 reply_id: 60461[/import]
