you could use one of the Xtras that saves Lingo objects in a file.
(PropSave or the other one (whose name escapes me now))
Then you'd just have to determine WHEN to restore (optimally just
after that movie clears)
BUT - if they are clearing to get rid of stuff, you run the risk of
returning whatever it was that they wanted gone ..

Hi,
I'm working on a project that needs to go movie some
"existing_movie". The problem is that this "existing_movie" calls
clearglobals a couple times and tromps on my global space. I could
get access to "existing_movie" and toss a reference to
gMySpecialPlist into a temp variable and restore it after
clearglobals. But ideally, I'd like a solution that does not touch
the code in "existing_movie".
I think the timeOutList might be a safe place (I don't think that
gets zapped). I was also considering an off screen MIAW to hold some
of my props in static movie script, but I think a timeout object
would be cleaner.
Has anyone tried anything similar?
