Cannot directly intialize Timecode variables

Hi all,

I need a timecode variable initialized with a short interval (about 1 frame). Initially, I tried

var tolerance = TimeCode(50);

for a 50ms interval. Unfortunately, this line results in a type mismatch error. Also using the string constructor

var tolerance = Timecode("00:00:00,01");

gives the same error. The only way I could make it work was using a system variable to initalize the variable, and then set it to the needed value, like:

var tolerance = Vegas.Cursor;
tolerance.FromString("00:00:00,01");

This works, but still, I think it is not the way it should be. Sorry if this is a trivial thing... but I couldn^t find out a direct way, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance, Andy
