Problem with bits in byte array....

[HenrikOlsson]

Thanks Don,
No, both [] and () should work as far as I know. I tried and it didn't make a difference.

The problem definitely is in the bit-indexing not allowing me to index above 255....

Take a look at this example:

Buffer VAR BYTE[256]
Index VAR WORD

CLEAR

HSEROUT["Buffer[32]: ", DEC Buffer[32],13]

Buffer.0[256] = 1        ' Set LSB of Buffer[32]
HSEROUT["Buffer[32]: ", DEC Buffer[32],13]

Index = 256
Buffer.0[Index] = 0     ' Clear LSB of Buffer[32]
HSEROUT["Buffer[32]: ", DEC Buffer[32],13]

Pause 100
END

It gives the following results:



As you can see, direct/literal indexing the 256'th bit works but doing it thru a variable doesn't. In Melanies example (which may be in error) she states that it should be possible to index bits above 255 this way (as long as the indexing variables is WORD, which it is in my case).

I have no problem index bytes (as bytes) above 255, it's just this bit-indexing that is screwing with me.
