RE: More problems with classes imported into Lua

[jdarling@...]

I found the same problem just before I read your response :).  Took a while though, as the reference wasn't as easy to find as I had hoped.  The modified code now Creates a new table, scans the metatable and assigns the appropriate MethodHandlers and __handlers.  For some reason simply setting the metatable of the new table didn't work, but now everything is fine.

The code used to call is simply:
ObjectInstance = TObjectName:new()
ObjectInstance:LoadFromFile(FileName)
ObjectInstance.Param = Value

In case your curious I've posted my Pas2Lua converter (witch this all came from) at: http://www.eonclash.com/pas2lua/pas2lua.zip

Not sure what was wrong with the DNS, but it should be fixed now.  Their was an error in the provider, once I changed the settings back (to the exact same ones) everything started working properly again :(

Hopefully I'll get a chance to put a page up around the converter, but until then the direct link will work :).
