Global Function Object Blus

[drnebula]

I've made some progress in getting file paths to be passed from one application to another and then using them to save files to that path. I have had problems using the Global Function to send the file names. It seems to work sometimes but not others. I have one app that sends a function to one of three other apps that are opened from the original app. Is there a limit to the number of different apps that can be communicating at one time - or anyone know of some unusual behavior when using this object? It seems like it should work fine and it's driving me crazy.

the only thing I can think of is to make sure each App's GFO has a different name. If any two (or more) share the same name, it's first come first serve on receiving Functions.

Well, I've finally gotten it to work. Seems that if you start appliation 2 from inside application 1 and want to transfer data from 1 to 2 using the global function object, you need to allow a time lag. I found that 1 sec time lag never worked, 2 sec time lag somethmes worked, and a 3 sec time lag always worked.

good to know.
