Hi Cole,
'version' does not get zapped when all other globals are cleared.
You could
save all your globals (including version itself) in a property list,
set 'version' to the property list, call clearGlobals, then restore
everything
from your property list.
That's really a brilliant idea! I had to try if it works, and yes,
it does! Here the code I used:
I had no idea that was writeable! I'll keep that in mind, but the
client movie may reference that global.
The static movie script is tempting. But being scoped to the current
movie, it evaporates as soon as you leave that movie (unless I'm
missing something).
I think I'll try a persistent timeout object first. I only need to
preserve one global, so it won't take much. I probably try something
like:
global gLLSprops
on saveMyStuff
tMyStuff = timeOut("lls demo props").new(0, #unused, gLLSprops)
tMyStuff.persistent = TRUE
end
on restoreMyStuff
if getPos(the timeoutlist, timeOut("lls demo props")) > 0 then
tMyStuff = timeOut("lls demo props")
gLLSprops = tMyStuff.target
forget(tMyStuff)
end if
end
Thanks for all the feedback!
