problem with integer

[blackmeadow]

hey, guys, i was wondering why i'm getting feedback on creating these variables:

Code Select Expand

startw = getfontwidth(start$) / 2
starth = getfontheight(start$) / 2

the error says Parameter[#1] is Incorrect Type, Expecting Integer of Float type and i'm thinking parameter one is referring to the direct input into the commands?  getfontwidth and getfontheight require strings.

getfontwidth and getfontheight require strings

No, they require a Integer.  For Help on a command from the IDE click the command name and then press F1.

i'm sorry, kevin, i thought it was gettextwidth and height  :-[Error Missing Closing Square Bracket
