Right, Eric, so reading this again it seems to me you can certainly do
it either way. It would be great if you gave the sync business a try.
Really that is exactly what it is for, and it should be very interesting
to see it work. What I set up is far more flexible than just
synchronizing spinning. In fact it should do precisely what you are
after. Just consider the first applet the controller, and do everything
through it. Should work like a charm. It should be as simple as:
JmolScript('sync on;sync jmolAppletA slave;sync "the command here";sync
jmolAppletA off;sync jmolAppletB slave;sync jmolAppletB "some other
command";sync jmolAppletB off')
interestingly, it doesn't matter which applet gets this script -- any
will do, because the sync command will send messages to the named
applet, even if that applet is giving the command. The advantage, of
course, is that this can be part of a Jmol script read from a .SPT file
-- no JavaScript at all.
But there should also be nothing at all wrong with:
jmolScript(script1, "0");
jmolScript(script2, "1");
