Graphics

I am trying to figure out what Xpression API conflicts I may run into when using VBscript.

I have run into a problem where this script apparently conflicted with Xpression Tick-It use of the Xpression API:

Dim StaticID As xpTextObject
scene.GetObjectByName("StaticID", StaticID)
Dim Sequence As xpSequencer = engine.Sequencer
Dim item As xpTakeItem
Sequence.GetTakeItemByID(CInt(StaticID.Text), item)
item.SetFocus()

This script allows a graphics operator to cue up a stinger from a MOS rundown for the director to take, but at some point, particularly when there are several ticker scenes onlining or offlining, may cause a render pipeline failure and crash Xpression. 

Is there something wrong with the script?

I have come to rely on VBscript in building scenes, and I am concerned that I may run into other issues by continuing to use it.

Thanks,

James.

Just answering to give this a little bump. I don't know enough about tick-it to give a definitive answer sorry.
