Dynamic line counter works but changes to all ones when saved.

Question

I am using
this.rawValue = this.parent.parent.index + 1;
to make a line counter and it seemed to have worked in past but through some changes I guess something broke. Now it works at first but when you save and re-opens, all lines are labeled as 1. Any one have any idea what this could be?

I'm not sure why startMovie() is not firing. I have not encountered that issue before.
Here is a workaround that might ensure that a #startMovie event is sent.
Create a timeout object with a period of 0 and an object as its target. Since the timeout will never be triggered when the period is 0, the name of the timeout handler is unimportant
Set the persistence of the timeout to TRUE
All system events in Movie Scripts will now be called twice.
You can create an empty movie and give it this Movie Script, to test:
global gWrapper
on enterFrame()
  if not gWrapper then
    gWrapper = script(1).create()
  end if
end
on startMovie(instance, timeOut)
  put instance, timeOut
end
on mouseUp()
  go movie the movie
end
on exitFrame()
  go the frame
end
-- TIMEOUT WRAPPER --
on create(me)
  vTimeOut = timeOut().new("SystemEvents", 0, #nullHandler, me)
  vTimeOut.persistent = TRUE
  return true
end create
