Sure, you can do recursion.
However, if you want to pick up the result, you'll have to do it when you call, as in:
myResult =createList(oldList, newList)
Then do whatever (add it to the other list, pass it back, etc.)

Hello,
Is it possible to return the result of a recursive loop to the handler that
called the loop, instead of to the previous instance of the handler itself ?
I am not sure the question is accurate, but you can check out what I mean
with this example-moviescript.
on startMovie
myList = [5,6,7]
myPropList = createList(myList)
put myPropList
end
on createList oldList, newList
if not ilk(newList,#list) then
newList = []
end if
if oldList.count > 0 then
newList.add(oldList[1])
oldList.deleteAt(1)
createList(oldList, newList)
else
propertyList = [#propName:newlist]
end if
return propertyList
end
The value that is returned to startMovie is VOID, while I need it to be the
constructed propList.
If I put a breakpoint on the line "return propertyList", I see what is
happening, but how can I pass my return value through this stack ?
sincerely,
Erik Phalet
