Basic NYX issues

I'm experimenting with the NYX editor and having trouble getting anything to work.
If I create 2 or 3 pages, simple things with a picture and a bit of text, and timer to progress, save and preview it seems to work.
However if I then edit the script, or change a page, when I save and preview, it appears not to refresh the code, and runs as if i haven't changed it. When i check the script, the changes are there!
I can even delete a page and the preview will still run/display it!
Any assistance would be greatly apriciated!

I've also tried the stroke(x) command but that does not seem to work?
I want to add a metronome sound.

I suspect I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what!

I've tried with IE 8 and 9, and also chrome, but thesame effects are seen!

Perhaps you have to delete old tease and repost.

I've had this problem with Nyx for years. The preview doesn't update when you make changes.
You just have to close your browser then reopen it.
It's only a minor pain in the butt, so I never bothered Seraph0x with it. He's got enough major issues to fix before worrying about that.

Nothing you can do there but restart nyx completely.

It has already been said, thanks to Nezhul who is one of the best on coding...

but just to be clear
once you go into editing script
after your done
You must exit Nyx all together
I have had to go as far as exiting Milovana all together

it is an old "glich"
you then log back into nyx and you should be able to preview

Warning
any page that was edited using script if you Look at it in "regular" edit sometimes the links or other little things look weird
Do NOT edit it again!! you will see it work in preview!

I seriously recommend writing as much of the tease as you can with Nyx regular
and when it basically finished
Then go back and tinker with script

there are several problems switching between script and regular editing that can cause ... headaches.
I don't know if the hidden glich of looking at the whole tease in regular view still causes problems with Script edited stuff

there was a time where if you edited script if you looked at the tease, other than to preview.. some of your commands would get snafu'd
I think that has been fixed, last time I wrote a tease the script edited is a lot smoother.

but I will say it twice write as much as you can using regualr nyx
then save a copy of the script somewhere
and then start edited script.

Thanks for the advise, hopefully things will be a bit smoother now!

Anyone able to comment on the stroke(x) command and add metonome?

Thanks

Can someone please help me? I worked really hard on a tease, and all the script stuff seems to make sense, but its all jacked up. i'd be happy to email the script to someone to look at. i edited it offline, and then pasted it in, to try to resolve my issues when things went hokey, but that didn't work either.
Thanks,
tina

Ok, just started from scratch, and now i have everything working, except my sound files won't loop. They are 30 seconds long (and close to the max upload size, so i can't just use a longer file) and i need them to loop. But the loop command doesn't work. i copied and pasted it directly, here is an example:
hidden:sound(id:'60bpm.mp3',loops:10)

i've tried changing to 5 loops, 100, 20, it makes no difference. What am i doing wrong?
Thanks gang!

Never mind. i was able to get the desired effect by uploading larger and longer audio files.
ttfn,
