Invalid Parameter

[Snickers]

I am trying to use the drawLineAbsolute function and have been getting the following error from the following relevant code:

Error:
Parameter Number 8 of Function drawLineAbsolute is invalid

relevant Code:
drawLineAbsolute( 0, nextcci21, 1, nextcci21, PS_SOLID, 3, Color.yellow, cci21Tag);

All variables are declared including cci21Tag (the 8th parameter). Can anyone please help me find the cause of this problem or could you suggest a way to troubleshoot it?

Thanks.

Snickers,

comment out the offending line of your code and insert a debugPrintln statement as follows:

debugPrintln("cci21Tag = "+cci21Tag);

this should tell you if the parameter is truly invalid.

you can also try changing the step (temporarily) as follows:

drawLineAbsolute( 0, nextcci21, 1, nextcci21, PS_SOLID, 3, Color.yellow, "cci21Tag");

Now this will draw a line, then, as the script loads, continue to overwrite the previous line until the efs is fully loaded. You will be able to see the last line though.

I have a similar problem. The EFS Help file says:

"optional. a unique identifier for this line object or null"

For instance, if you do this, it works:

drawLineAbsolute( -40, v4p, 2 , v4p, PS_SOLID, 1, Color.red, 100);


If you do this:

drawLineAbsolute( -40, v4p, 2 , v4p, PS_SOLID, 1, Color.red, null);

it spits out an error message saying "parameter 8 is invalid".

If you do this (Help says tagID is optional):

drawLineAbsolute( -40, v4p, 2 , v4p, PS_SOLID, 1, Color.red);

it spits out an error message saying parameter 8 is missing.

Any ideas?

Also, for some reason, I get some weird [Object Series] messages in the debug formula output window and that is what I am trying to figure out...

I am not positive but I think that the documentation may be incorrect and that the TagID is actually a required parameter.
With regards to the [Series Object] message you need to specify the bar index if you want to retrieve a specific value from the series [for example mySeries.getValue(0)]
