>i'm a little embarassed to ask this
Hey, don't be embarrassed--like somebody recently remarked, the only dumb
question is the one you don't ask.
>i want to create a child object from a parent script and be able to refer to
>it globaly using a string that i pass to it! i want to give all these
>children their own individual names and be able to call them individually!
>
>a related question is.. how can i globalize variables?
I'll answer your second question first:
global goFirstObject
global goSecondObject
or, you could just do:
global goFirstObject, goSecondObject
Purely style preference. I like to see at a glance how many globals I have,
so I tend to declare them individually.
Now, to create the object:
goFirstObject= script ("mParentScript").new()
goSecondObject= script ("mParentScript").new()
And you have two objects, each created from the same parent script. The
global variables goFirstObject and goSecondObject contain the reference to
the object. So, if you had a handler in mParentScript called, say, moveMe,
you would call it with:
goFirstObject.moveMe(x, y)
Does that answer your questions?
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
