Some people were having a bit of trouble getting started, so I've updated the demo test for Sideflow (Selenium IDE flow control extension) to use the latest Selenese commands.
What's changed: no more direct access to 'storedVars'. No more 'getEval'... uses 'runScript' instead. Need to do some weird casting to perform counter increments.
The github repo is over here. Everybody git on board the github train!
PS. You can find the original post here.

I'm a beginner Selenium user and this seems awesome, just what I was looking for. Thanks!
Hi Darren, I've found this information most useful. I'm trying to use the WHILE function with a numeric expression but I keep getting errors
[error] Exception occured in incrementVal: Value of the provided variable is not a number.
Hi FedeRH, sorry for the late reply. Could you please post an issue on Github including your operating system, Firefox and Selenium IDE version numbers. Thanks, D.
One tweak to consider is the 'store' statement inside the while loop should be 'storeEval'. Store results in x being a formula: new Number(new Number(new Number(new Number(new Number(10 +1) +1) +1) +1) +1). This may be a problem on large while loops.
Allan, use storeEval | parseInt(storedVars['x'] | x and this should no longer be a problem. I also used JavaScript to increment my variables using parseInt (which changes strings to numbers if a number) storeEval | (parseInt(storedVars['x'] + 1) | x. Selenium still saves it as a string but the increments happen at JavaScript. The only thing is make sure your counter is also parsed. Worked for me and issued just 1 number without the +'s.
I've added the ability to add function calls to sideflow.js. This version has a simple adjustable stack size, and is even capable of recursion (there are function, endFunction, call, and callIf commands). There is still no local scoping, or function parameters, but still it's better than nothing. Let me know if you'd like me to send this to you for inclusion in the official version.
