Hi Todd,
Mark and Kevin are on holiday today, but I'll try and address this for you.
At the moment, JavaScript functions cannot call LiveCode functions. Our
current plan is to make this work in December or January.
It will be more difficult to implement than the new "do script as
JavaScript" feature, but much easier than making the "url" chunk work
the same way as on other platforms.
The latest idea we've had to make this happen is to let you set the
"javaScriptHandlers" property on a stack. This will be a list of
message names that the web page is allowed to send to the stack.
We'll then add a JavaScript function to the standalone, that lets you
send a message to the current "defaultStack". For example:
Module.LiveCodeSendMessage("<message>", ["<param1>", "<param2>"])
If <message> is not among the lines of the "javaScriptHandlers" of the
defaultStack, then it'll be ignored. Otherwise, it'll be sent to the
current card of the defaultStack, just like "backKey" message on mobile
platforms, for example.
That's the current plan, anyway. No doubt it will change a bit once we
start working on it. Does that broadly answer your question?
Best regards,
Peter
