os crashes

i have a problem:

this is the code that i want to reveal:

window = { }
window.create = function( name )
--hidden code
end

local function explorer( )
--code that i want to hide
local desktop = window.create( "Desktop" ) --here it errors. "attempt to index ? (a nil value)"
--more hidden code
end

if you need more code to see the problem please PM me. i dont want to give out code just yet

thx in advance, wilcomega

Post the whole code and the errors it's giving you.

Does the line number within the error match up with the call (local desktop = window.create( "Desktop" )) or with something that's WITHIN the actual function defining?

Maybe try changing

window = { }
window.create = function( name )
--hidden code
end

to

window = {
    create = function( name )
        --hidden code
    end
}

Otherwise, try removing the local part of the call. I've experienced where I've called something local it errored, removed it and it worked…

Now that would kill Lua in an instant.
Maybe…

window = {
	create = function( name )
		--hidden code
	end
}

But he indeed has to give us more information in order to get help.
