State of global counter not updated in subapp

[RayMarble]

When the subapp appears the global counter in it shows 1 no matter what. However if I go to the same frame through the "Next frame", it shows correctly.

What am I doing wrong?

I can confirm it and I think it may be a bug. Thanks for making the nice... handwritten.. example.

hihi ;-)

Obviously there are workarounds (the value I want to carry across can be saved in a Global Value and grabbed from the subapp, just tested it and it works) but it'd still be nice if the counter just retrieved the value correctly.

To make sure everything's set up correctly, I also checked whether the "globality" of the counter works - and it does (if I change it graphically, it changes in both frames).

Update: Just checked it with global strings (change a global string in the first frame, call a subapp that has the same string and the subapp will show it in a non-changed version), doesn't work there either. So I guess it's a feature after all ^.^??

The "Global object" option only works in the current application. The values of global objects (active, strings, counters, etc) are not shared with sub-applications. Only global values, global strings, scores and lives are shared.

Could we possibly have a check box option for sharing this?

I fear the answer will be "MMF3" - it doesn't sound like an easy change
