For once, I read the whole thread before answering.
Grimm is on the right track, but his solution won't work as it is because
each instance creates its own properties. When you add to the list, you're
adding to that instance's list, not a shared list.
I use a global object manager for this sort of thing. I would use it to
actually create the object and put it in a list, but you could also just
add it to the list.
Untested e-mail Lingo:
property pObjectList
on new me
pObjectList = [:]
yada yada
end
on addToList scriptName instanceRef
if pObjectList.getPos(scriptName) = 0 then
pObjectList.add(scriptName: [instanceRef])
else
pObjectList.scriptName.add(instanceRef)
end if
end
You'll need an accessor method and a delete method, but those shouldn't be
too hard if you follow the model above.
Cordially,
