Global functions exist in movie scripts.
Sorry, you couldn't declare them in Lingo.ini (if only, unfortunately
there'd be a security problem). However you could reference external casts
and link them in dynamically or import the script text.
So to make a movie script, which is a script whose handlers (there can be
more than one defined), have the cast window open, and do ctrl-0 (zero), or
have the cast window open and choose Window | Script from the menu. To
double check, click the little blue 'i' icon, for script cast member
properties, and make sure it reads "Movie script".
Any given function is first attempted to be delivered to the sprite, then
to the castmember, then to the frame script, then to the movie script.
You can have multiple movie scripts.
There can only be one given function (idle, exitFrame, startMovie) per
program. If you have multiple movie scripts with multiple idle handlers,
only the first one encountered will be called.
