Anyway, I ended up unable to decide how to put the 'code family tree'
together as a result... which should inherit which? Is this a common
problem?

I think Kerry was concatenating all his scripts into one text file.

interesting...
thanks for posting your solution - one to watch out for.
am I right in thinking that ".ls" is the usual suffix for external
lingo scripts?
teration...
try moving the xtra instantiation code before the loop starts, and
set theFile = 0 after the loop finishes, so that only a single
instance of the xtra is used for all operations.
might also be worth errorchecking each operation with status(theFile)
before moving on to the next

Lingo-L is for learning and help
et command, it must forget itself, but if it has done
so, what is it forgetting... etc etc. I recommend using the same strategy
for objects too.

e found the most consistent
way of opening documents is to use BuddyAPI with:
baOpenFile(pathToYourFile, "")
this mimics double-clicking the file's icon, and therefore works when
folks have (for example) custom WinNT systems, or other unusual setups.

ed that gNetID is being set to
void every frame...
on exitFrame
if not(voidP(gNetID)) then
if netDone(gNetID) then
serverString = netTextResult(gNetID)
parsePacket(serverString)
gNetID = void
end if
end if
go the frame
end
may work better
Christian

t the manual says:
"If no net ID is specified, netTextResult returns the result
of the last network operation."
maybe you've got multiple operations in progress... I tend to
specify the netID...
serverString = netTextResult(gNetID)
...with no problems.

have you tried issuing 'unload' and/or 'unloadMember' commands
either before or after the sw
tage's movie script, that closes that window?
in my experience, it is still an unstable way to close a MIAW. Likewise,
one cannot void an object from within itself. Since MIAWs are a kind of
object, the same logic applies. Tab's method is the most reliable.

ch can easily be read in Director using something like
on getParamFromHTML whichParam
if externalParamName(whichParam) = whichParam then
--alert (whichParam && externalParamValue(whichParam))
return externalParamValue(whichParam)
else
alert "No '" & which
heck out the scriptInstanceList property
