In experimenting with the Quickscript functions I found a number of errors in the documentation which can cause significant issues for users:


Spin
Rotates the objects in a frame in turn.

Syntax: spinCycle(inObject, animLength, scaleAmnt, trail)

"scaleAmnt" is erroneus in the above.

Fade
Rotates the objects in a frame, in turn.

Syntax: scaleCycle(inObject, animLength, trail)

"Rotates" is erroneous, and the function name is "fadeCycle, not "scaleCycle."


Flare
Applies a flare of a chosen colour to each object in a frame in turn

Syntax: flareCycle(inObject, animLength, flareColour, trail)

Script function is "flareWave," not "flareCycle"

While the last one may be operator error, spinCycle calls this error:

Welcome,Cycle - Spin 11 [22] : Object Not Found : The called object is not a valid object type (undefined? null?)

I've attached a demo program with these functions working properly and the referenced error.

There is a lot of potential for these functions and I appreciate their inclusion. It would help to have these documentation errors corrected.
