reference inline fs variable

Hi again, for help.

I'm trying to translate js script to amber.
There are js variables need to be referenced.
such as:

linkDemo
<
            var position;
            var target;
            var tween, tweenBack;

            function init() {
            ----
            --- } ;
>

is it possible to call those variables, position, target, tween, tweenBack via amber methods?
( I tried to separate each function to separate inline amber methods but each method can not reference other's variables ).

thanks.

Re: reference inline fs variable

Hi,
Trying on myself after figuring more deeply to native js codes.
I think I could put those variables that are needed to be referenced inside Amber under window namespace.
That is to say, if I need function "init" to be called by Amber method, I wrapped it as:
   window.init = function init() {
            ----
            --- } ;

then, I called that function in Amber as:
       ( window at: init ) value.

if the js codes are written as:

var Tinycon = {};
Tinycon.setBubble = function(label, colour) {
        label = label || '';
        drawFavicon(label, colour);
        return this;
    };
window.Tinycon = Tinycon;

then I could call the js function setBubble as:

( window at: 'Tinycon' ) setBubble: 12.

Just a think, not sure the robust formal way.

Re: reference inline fs variable

You don't need to use window, you see all globals directly.

Just define function init() {...} and var Tinycon = {...} in global space
(load their <script>s before amber) and then you can do:

init value

or

Tinycon setBubble: 12

Hi,

sorry for the late response but your message somehow slipped under my radar.

I think you should not try to recreate the JS code one be one in Amber through inline JS.

To me the following variables look more like instance variables to me:

var position;
var target;
var tween, tweenBack;

If this is the case then they should also be treated as such.

Then they will be available in any method you call on your object.

Also, your Tinycon construct looks like it should be a separate Amber class.

Best,

Manfred
