I'm not sure, but I think it's the version of jscript being using by the ActiveX layer provided by MainWin, which is version 3.0 of jscript. If you check the msdn documentation, each jscript object and method lists the version of jscript in which it was implemented. Much of the fancier stuff, like html goodies, was added in jscript 5+. Few XSI scripts have call for most of the new methods, except for Array.push().
If your jscript is failing on linux due to the push method, you can extend the Array object yourself.I grabbed the following lines from the XSI wiki ( http://softimage.wiki.avid.com/index.php/Arrays_in_JScript_(XSISDK) ). Paste this code block at the top of your jscripts and they should run:
// (at)cc_on
// (at)if ((at)_jscript_version <= 5.5)
var push = function(){
for( var i = 0; arguments[ i ] != null; i++ )
this[this.length++] = arguments[ i ];
return( this );
}
Array.prototype.push = push;
// (at)end

Ah. Push is the problem.
Ok, is this something that's pending? Is that installed when you install
xsi, or is it in the Linux build itself?
Thanks Brad.

Can you run jscript at all? Or is it a question of existing jscripts just
failing to finish. The version of jscript running on linux is older than
the one running on windows, so it's missing a handful of commands and
jscript object methods. The most frequent offender is the lack of a push
operator on the linux jscript array. -Brad

install of XSI, that would be abnormal right? Does anyone have ideas
