Thanks a lot Mathew, works amazingly well!
While writing I might as well see if anyone has got an answer to this:
put sprite(1).getVariable("mainHeader",false)[11]
sprite(1) contains a flash object, the flash object contains an array called
mainHeader...
using the above code works fine for referencing the 12th object in that
array from DMX...
The Question: Is there a way as simple as the above to use the setVariable
on an Array directly from lingo? (thanks to Mathew that can be resolved with
a new flash function... but WHY doesn't it work??)
/Kristian again...

Behold... FLASH OBJECTS!
root = sprite(x).getVariable("_root",false)
root.getStringFromDMX("myString")
False allows getVariable() to return a reference to the root timeline.
Then you can call functions on it.

Subject: <lingo-l> Trigger FlashMX function from DMX.
Hi all,
just wondering if anyone has worked with triggering/calling flash
functions,
using lingo, from DMX? The flash function I'm trying to reach is inside
a
sprite that is a Flash object. What I want to do is (in pseudo)
something
like:
sprite(x).callFlashFunction("getStringFromDMX()", "myString")
It has to be functions and not just setting and getting variables.
Great list and thanks in advance.
