Never mind. It is in parameters where that does not work.
You are right. This works:
on mouseup
put "1" into aTest[1]
put "2" into aTest[2]
get return_array(aTest)
put the result into aResult
combine aResult using cr
answer aResult
end mouseup
function return_array pArray
return pArray
end return_array
But this doesn't (didn't really expect so)
Stack A
---------
on mouseup
put "1" into aTest[1]
put "2" into aTest[2]
get return_array(aTest)
send doSomething to button 1 of stack "stackB"
end mouseup
Stack B
---------
on doSomething
put the result into aResult
combine aResult using cr
answer "--" & aResult
end doSomething
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
What is exactly the scope of this "the result"?
According to the doc: "The result function is set to empty when the
current handler finishes executing."
This doesn't work either:
on mouseup
put "1" into aTest[1]
put "2" into aTest[2]
get return_array(aTest)
test_result
end mouseup
...
on test_result
put the result into aResult
combine aResult using cr
answer "--" & aResult
end test_result
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
And about passing arrays as parameters, it looks like a challenge
indeed.
This works:
Stack A
----------
put "one" into aTest
send "doSomething aTest" to button 1 of stack "stackB"
This doesn't
Stack A
---------
put "1" into aTest[1]
put "2" into aTest[2]
send "doSomething aTest" to button 1 of stack "stackB"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
Unsurprisingly, this doesn't work:
set the array_data of button 1 of stack "stackB" to aTest
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
But this works:
Stack A
---------
on mouseup
put "1" into aTest[1]
put "2" into aTest[2]
set the customproperties of button 1 of stack "stackB" to aTest
send "doSomething" to button 1 of stack "stackB"
end mouseup
Stack B
---------
on doSomething
put the customproperties of me into tArray
.....
end doSomething
Tadam ...
1
2
But I would stay away from this option... too dangerous to use!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
Of interest... this works as well
Stack A
---------
on mouseup
put "1" into aTest[1]
put "2" into aTest[2]
set the customproperties["test"] of button 1 of stack "stackB" to
aTest
send "doSomething" to button 1 of stack "stackB"
end mouseup
Stack B
---------
on doSomething
put the customproperties["test"] of me into tArray
...
end doSomething
Multidimensional arrays can be used:
(simply because the array indexes are converted into a string)
put "1" into aTest[1,2,3]
put "2" into aTest[2,2,3]
...
combine aResult using cr and tab
Thanks for the brainstorming and the ideas!
