Re: Using handler local variables of caller

Thanks, Ray! That is just what I wanted! I do need to come up with a growth plan for when a future version of LiveCode does break it. (And maybe by then I'll have my script filter working.) Dar On May 3, 2012, at 1:25 PM, Ken Ray wrote: > > On May 1, 2012, at 9:03 PM, Dar Scott wrote: >

Re: Using handler local variables of caller

Hi, Mark! You hit the nail on the head. You work with desktop externals, right? They don't have this limitation. Since iOS externals do have the limitation, I'm not going to go that way. Here is a goofy solution: function darzCommand get 123 return "put " & it & " into it" en

Re: Using handler local variables of caller

Thanks, Bob and Peter! I didn't think there was a way, but I thought I'd ask. I have two goals. 1 I sometimes create commands that are like built-in commands that modify 'it'. It would be nice if mine can modify 'it' to simplify the code and make it easier for users to learn and for me to spe

Re: Using handler local variables of caller

If the handlers are in the same script, can't you use script local variables? If they are in different scripts, then Peter's suggestion of using properties may be the way to go. Seems like a lot to avoid passing parameters though. Bob On May 1, 2012, at 3:11 PM, Dar Scott wrote: > I'd like a

Using handler local variables of caller

I'd like a function to use some variables of the caller without them being passed or being declared as globals. Is there a way to do that? Desktop externals can do that, but I don't see a way for a library in a function to do that. Dar ___ use-live
