Creating linear curve method & parenting 2004-02-14 - By Bernard Lebel

Hello,
I'm very confused. I assumed that to create a linear curve made of two points
and parent it to
another object would be a piece of cake, but for the life of me I can't figure
it out.
This is the code I have so far:
// -- ---- -- Begin script -- ---- ---- ---- --
// Get spot light, oLightRig is the spot root
var oLightRig = activesceneroot.addlightrig( "Spot.Preset", "Spot_Root" );
// Now we'll create a curve that shows the link between the spot and its
interest
createcurve( 1, 0, "(0,0,0),(5,5,5)", false );
var oCurve = activesceneroot.child( "crvlist" ); // <-- ---- --- Error here
oLightRig.addchild( oCurve );
// -- ---- -- End script -- ---- ---- ---- --
when it reaches the line
var oCurve = activesceneroot.child( "crvlist" );
(before the last one)
it says that the object doesn't support property or method.
I also tried the method
oLightRig.addchild( oCurve );
but again it doesn't work.
Too bad JScript doesn't accept output values, that would have had helped a lot.
So how can I parent that curve to the spot light root other than using the
commands...?
ParentObj("B:Spot_Root", "crvlist");
SelectObj("B:Spot_Root", null, null);
Another problem is that the methods for creating curves are pretty tedious! Is
there any way to
create a curve under an existing object without going through things like
AddNurbsCurve methods and
such?
Thanks
Bernard
