Hi all, Well, I didn't expect such a passionate response from a lot of folk about globals and related "containers" of variable values. So point taken about globals. Very interesting ideas and concepts that I very much appreciate, because I learned something today from y'all.
Stephen - interesting concepts from Andre. Jerry J - many software development tools allow values of variables to be passed to other "programs", functions, you name it, they are there. Specifically, the one I use every day - MSE's eDeveloper and their new version: uniPaaS. They allow the declaration of globals, which the values can be obtained from anywhere in the entire application. Jacqueline - are you saying that two different applications (as executables or as .rev/.livecode stacks) using the same global name can be referenced by one another, and share the same values? That's bizarre. Francis - I like the concept. I will give it a go. Richard - I like your concepts. I'll give it a go. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
