Can anyone give me some help please?
What I want to do is to dynamicaly create a number of child objects from a
parent script, and assign each child object to a dynamically created
variable. The variable names and parameters passed to the child object
simply increment by one each time such as:
myVariable1 = new(script "ParentScriptName", 1, X)
myVariable2 = new(script "ParentScriptName", 2, X)
myVariable3 = new(script "ParentScriptName", 3, X)
etc.
So I tried a test:
on createVarsForQuestions
numOfQuestionsCatA = 5 --initialise with total number of questions in
this category
repeat with r = 1 to numOfQuestionsCatA
global testNumber
testNumber = r
oQuestionNum = "varQuestionNum" & r --a string!
parentScriptName = "TestParentScript"
newScript = "=new(script" & parentScriptName & ", 1, 2)"
do(oQuestionNum & newScript)
put oQuestionNum
put "-----------"
end repeat
end
The parent script "TestParentScript" is:
on new me, a, b
global testNumber
put "child number:"&&testNumber
put "parameter 1="
put a
put "parameter 2="
put b
return me
end
Using createVarsForQuestions in the message window clearly shows that child
objects are being created BUT they are not receiving the parameters.
So why is this?
Or am I looking at this through the wrong end of the telescope?
Thanks in advance
Neil
