lingo-l Interesting Question...
A short while ago I asked if it was possible to load shockwave movies into a bas shockwave movie. The answer was yes. Thinking further on these lines... Does that mean globals from my MAIN movie will pass to the subordinate shockwave movie? Ie. A parent object created in the main movie will be able to be called in a subsidory shockwave movie?

Re: lingo-l Interesting Question...
but not if it's an ldm? Globals established by the LDM should be usable in the main movie, even in shockwave. It's easy to test (though not so easy that I'm going to do it for you!). -- [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

And instantiated scripts will also pass. So if a global holds the reference to an instance of a parent script, that code-object will continue to be available, even though the 'cast member' which holds the script for it isn't in the new movie. roymeo At 11:45 AM 5/22/2002 -0500, you wrote: At 17:05 +0100 05/22/2002, Jayp wrote: Does that mean globals from my MAIN movie will pass to the subordinate shockwave movie?

Re: lingo-l Interesting Question...
Hey Bhakti, Globals cross the LDM scope as well this can be good and bad, in that you can transfer information across the whole project but unlike flash you don't have a simple way to have movie level variable, that is a global that is contained within the LDM. However this can be done, you can create movie variables I wrote about this for DOUG. The other thing to remember about globals is if they hold a reference to an object then that object will act on whatever level it is being called from. So if an object has a method to change the member of sprite 5's member then if called from the stage it will act upon sprite 5 in the stage if you make the call from within an LDM it will act on sprite 5 of the LDM. The global can originate from anywhere, LDM or stage and be used by anyone. later, Rob bhakti wrote: but not if it's an ldm?

Re: lingo-l Interesting Question...
i would think they'd be called universals. calling them globals is planet-ist. Howdy-Tzi wrote: At 10:39 -0700 05/22/2002, bhakti wrote: but not if it's an ldm? Since an LDM would still be running under the same shock session, yes, the globals are available. That's why they are called... globals. :D -- [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
