Hi Cole,
'version' does not get zapped when all other globals are cleared.
You could
save all your globals (including version itself) in a property list,
set 'version' to the property list, call clearGlobals, then restore
everything
from your property list.
That's really a brilliant idea! I had to try if it works, and yes, it
does! Here the code I used:
-- save all globals inside version
on saveGlobals
global version
g = the globals
v = version -- orig. value
version = [:]
repeat with i=1 to g.count
if g.getPropAt(i)<>#version then version[g.getPropAt(i)] = g[i]
end repeat
version[#_version] = v
end
-- restore all globals from version
on restoreGlobals
global version
g = the globals
repeat with i=1 to version.count
if version.getPropAt(i)<>#_version then g[version.getPropAt(i)] =
version[i]
end repeat
version = version[#_version] -- restore version
end
In DMX2004 you could even overwrite any "simple" calls to clearGlobals()
by adding the following handler in some movie script, but this of course
would mean touching the existing movie:
on clearGlobals
saveGlobals()
_gobal.clearGlobals()
end
