You can declare globals in the Lingo.ini, which makes it very convenient
when you know a client is waffling on several different things at the end
of a project (then when the client says they changed their mind, they don't
want the warning screen up that comes up at the beginning, you just change
one value in your lingo.ini and reburn without having to change the
protected director files.
And I usually have something in the prepareMovie handler to define those
variables IFF they are void.
in Lingo.ini:
on startup
global gCanIHaveVariablesInLingoIni
gCanIHaveVariablesInLingoIni = "roymeo says that I can!"
end startup
in the director file:
on prepareMovie
global gCanIHaveVariablesInLingoIni
if voidP(gCanIHaveVariablesInLingoIni) then
gCanIHaveVariablesInLingoIni = "Tab says that I cannot."
end if
alert gCanIHaveVariablesInLingoIni
end
and the alert appears with "roymeo says that I can!"
and in the message window in the projector (cut n pasted directly from a
projector message window):
put gCanIHaveVariablesInLingoIni
-- "roymeo says that I can!"
