Passing unknown number of referenced variables to a function

[K]

I posted the exact question some time ago and was told it is not possible.

Subject: Passing unknown number of referenced variables to a function

Is it possible in transcript to have a function that supports the <br>passing of multiple referenced variables and assigning values to those <br>variables?  The idea is that I could define a function like this:<br><br>function myFunction @pData<br>	repeat with i = 1 to paramCount()<br>		put "someData" into paramVar(i)<br>	end repeat<br>end function<br><br>Where the function could loop through the number of parameters and put <br>values into the variables that were passed by reference.  It seems you <br>can only get the value of a parameter that was passed in but not <br>defined in the function definition, not the actual variable name <br>(variableNames reports the defined variables).<br><br>I guess I could just define a bunch of parameters (ie. @pData1, <br>@pData2, @pData3, etc.) and then loop through the parameters that way <br>but I'm hoping there is a more elegant way.<br><br><br>-- <br>Trevor DeVore<br>Blue Mango Multimedia<br>trevor at mangomultimedia.com<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>use-revolution mailing list<br>use-revolution at lists.runrev.com<br>http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution<br>
