Changing variables in one VIEW from another (WMP)
Wednesday, July 23, 2003 by Solar Flare | Discussion: Skinning
This has been bugging me for long enough, I will at last seek an answer from the pros.
If you have a variable in one [view], and a button or other function in another, can you change the variable in the first [view] from the second?
An example of what I mean: let's say in the main view called "mainview" I have a text called "text". From a button in "mainview" I could call "text.value='this is the new text';". But from a different view, called "secondview", I can't just use that same code.
I assume there is a simple code to get a handle to the first view, but I am not familiar with the syntax. Thanks,

Nah, that seems logical, but it doesn't work. Are we the only ones that use this message board?
