Advanced Script Help
Sunday, June 24, 2007 by SirSmiley | Discussion: DesktopX
Trying to slim down some scripts and/or put everything into one base script. I've encounter somewhat of a little block.
Instead of using a dozen timers that essentially do the same thing I'm trying to pass the object down through the function call into the sub's but for some reason I can't pass the object name from the function into the respective timer. Any Ideas?

Code: vbscript
- Const mskT1="mskTab1"
- Const objT1="objTab1"
- Dim speed
- speed=50
- '--Begin Universal Button Functions
- '--Left Click Mouse Selection
- Function Object_OnLbuttonupEx(obj,x,y,dragged)
- With DesktopX
- If Not dragged Then
- Select Case obj.name
- Case objT1
- tBarSlide(mskT1)
- End Select
- End If
- End With
- End Function
- Function tBarSlide(obj)
- With DesktopX
- If .Object(obj).Left >= 0 Then
- object.KillTimer 100
- object.SetTimer 200,speed
- Else
- object.KillTimer 200
- object.SetTimer 100,speed
- End If
- End With
- End Function
- '--Timers
- Sub object_ontimer100
- With DesktopX.Object(obj)
- If .Left < 0 Then
- .Left = .Left + 5
- Else
- object.KillTimer 100
- End If
- End With
- End Sub
- Sub object_ontimer200
- With DesktopX.Object(obj)
- If .Left >=0 Then
- .Left = .Left - 5
- Else
- object.KillTimer 200
- End If
- End With
- End Sub

It's because obj is only created within the Object_OnLbuttonupEx and passed on to the function tBarSlide. You need to store the object in a variable in the global script space. Though the problem with that is what happends if the timer get called simultaneously from several objects. They'd then overwrite themself.

Yeah, discovered that. So, it would only be acceptable within limited use. Wonder if there is a way to block the call until the previous call is completed?
Edit: I'm wondering if there's a way to set the other objects to inactive. Like a separate sub?
