Chipp,

I use stuff like that all the time in the RevHTTP server for running the functions on cgis. But I don't usually use functions, I use handlers that like function return values. I assemble a line with a send call in a string and I execute that string using DO. then I check for the result variable for my return values. This works very fine.

I know you're trying to call functions and not handlers but I've entered the same trouble you're in now and solved it by using handlers and send. I know this is no solution and just a hack, but it is working and it is easy to understand.

cheers

Trying to call function 'foo(param1,param2)' in button "bar" from somewhere
outside the message path.

So, I do this:

put "1,000" into param1
put "Soldiers" into param2
get value("foo(param1,param2)",btn "bar")

Sadly, the literals "param1" and "param2" are passed to foo instead of the
variables.
I've tried escaping, quoting, and waving a half dead chicken over foo. No
good. Any ideas?

TRY YOURSELF
Create a new stack:
create button "bar" with script:

function foo param1,param2
 answer param1 &cr& param2
end foo

Create another button "PressMe"

on mouseUp
 put "1,000" into param1
 put "soldiers" into param2
 answer value("foo(param1,param2)",btn "bar")
end mouseUp
