    Question MIBAM and Array Variables in FOR-NEXT Loops

    Hello

    I'm trying to write a set of universal subroutines that I can transfer different predefined output pins into as opposed to writing a number of subs that except for pin designations and variables look almost the same. I'm using the "MIBAM" setup but this could be applied to any regular code. I tried to alias the pin names. That made all of the outputs sequentially active but I couldn't find a way to "un" alias those pins and so have no program control.

    I also tried to use the original sample array variables in the for next loops (a piece of the code is shown below) but got an error message saying that

    "array variables are not allowed in for next loops". That was a surprise.

    Is there anyway of doing what I think that I may have explained here?


    THANKS

    How about this:

    Code:
    x = 1
    N = 0
    FOR temp = Brightness to N STEP -1 ; Ramp down 1 by 1
        objectb[x] = temp
    
        PAUSE Speed
    NEXT temp
