Hi

This is mainly a naming convention confusion for me but I also need to understand the concept better.

Can someone clear up for me what really the scope of XFAs are ? (The concept - not the code)

For example, in the script for fbx_switch and the subordinate qry_ and act_ fuses, some values may be set which are read later by the dsp_ fuses of layout script.

In my last fusebox application, I tended to prefix these as $XFA_ , even if they weren't specifically the names of actions - I used $XFA_ for everything that was being set in the business logic layer which was to be read by the displays and layouts.

I'm now thinking that XFA'a are a more specific concept - i.e. they specifically refer to the names of fuseactions.

Is this correct ? If so could someone post an example of a typical use of an exit fuseaction ? (If they can be bothered).

Here a schematic of the scenario I'm talking about:

[1] - Run fbx_switch,

call   --->   qry_getActivities
call   --->   act_doOrders

[2] - in act_doOrders, set some values (either in Active4D variables, like $countActions, $Is_Valid, $helpMessage, or in a custom collection etc)

call ---> dsp_doOrderList (In here, read the values that were set in act_doOrders and act upon them)

My question is - are the values set in act_doOrders collectively known as XFA's (i.e. I should prefix them XFA to indicate this) or are XFAs a more specific thing - i.e. documented fuseactions only).

Many thanks for any assistance in setting me straight on this.

Regards

Peter
