alice-teacher Freezing and/or error when clicking on Events

[Lori Fuller]

>From the Alice book with the Beetle Band example and scenario; The
students and I are trying to add on to the basic Beetle Band scenario of
creating a Solo and Duets with using Parameters. However, each time the
students try to test the added Methods for either Solo or Duets by
changing the Event world start, Alice freezes. The third part of the
project which is the add on, is to have music playing the whole time in
the background and the students trying to sinc the lyrics and movements to
the music. The problem is that every time I try to add a Do together in
the events, Alice freezes or gives an error. (see below) Is this an Alice
thing? An Alice running or Mac thing? A Java thing? And is there a way to
fix it?
