How to use m in a .brs file executed by Run() function

Hi everyone,

I’m executing .brs files by using Run() function and it works fine.

The problem is when I need to use m in the .brs file executed by Run() function, in this file the m is not defined.

And the question is: How can I access to m from this file?

Thank you

I don’t really think you can use it. You can pass it as a parameter to Run (e.g., Run(runthis.brs, m)), but trying to modify any element will really screw things up. Your runthis**.brs**'s main function should be defined as Function main(aa as Object) as Object You can then access the main m as aa.whatever. You should really pass in whatever you will use as parameters to Run and then return anything you’ll need in your main code. Update m in your main .brs from the returned value(s) if need be.

Hi JT,

Thank you for your reply, yes I have tried to pass m as paramater but it is not posible, just sending as you said: Run(runthis.brs, m), the player crash and it is reloaded, in fact I tried to send into an array and is exactly the same, the player crashes.

Now what Im trying is run NodeJS like this:

    r = CreateObject("roRectangle", 0,0,1920,1080)
    random = Rnd(5000)
    Print "random = ";random

    is = {
        port: random
    }
    config = {
        nodejs_enabled: true
        inspector_server: is
        brightsign_js_objects_enabled: true
        url: "file:///sd:/nodejs/index.html"
    }
    **m.**h = CreateObject("roHtmlWidget", r, config)
    **m.**h.Show()

And when i execute this from my main .brs it works fine, but only if I execute this with the m, I mean if I execute it without m like this code NodeJS is not running:

    h = CreateObject("roHtmlWidget", r, config)
    h.Show()

And that is my issue, I need to load NodeJS from a .brs file(not from the main .brs) and in those files I have not m, do you have any idea how can I init NodeJS in a .brs file executed with Run() function?

Thank you

Yes, is a BrightSign, thank you I’m gong to try over there.

But I tell you my advance, what I do is:

Im exeuting those .brs files via Run() sending UDP messages, and the only thing I response in that specific file is a flag to say to my main .brs that executes a function that loads NodeJS the trick is thah in this main file the m exists, and because of it: works

Thank you so much for your reply
