you could either use a global:
global gData
gData = 23
window("something").open()
tell window("something")
foo()
end tell
put gData
-- 46
and in something.dir:
on foo
global gData
gData = gData * 2
end
window("miaw").open()
l=[23]
tell window("miaw")
foo(l)
end tell
put l
OR, use a list as parameter to implement passing by reference:
window("something").open()
data = 23
tmpList = [data]
tell window("something")
foo(tmpList )
end tell
put tmpList[1]
-- 46
and in something.dir:
on foo (tList)
tList[1] = tList[1]*2
end
