A Quick Question about Lingo (Director)

[DJRobThaMan]

Hi,
I know this is ridiculously simple but I'm in class and unsure of how to declare a global variable in lingo.
Please could somebody help me out.

Thanks,
Douglas

Okay, so I figured it out. But does anybody know why tyhis won't work?



global pixels

on startMovie
sprite(2).trails = TRUE
sprite(2).constraint = 3
pixels = 0
end

on KeyDown
case(the KeyCode) of
123: sprite(2).locH = sprite(2).locH - 1
123: pixels = pixels + 1
124: sprite(2).locH = sprite(2).locH + 1
end case
updateStage
end


Thanks again

Not sure..

Mayby it would help to put an otherwise statement at the end of the case tree.

case(the KeyCode) of
123: sprite(2).locH = sprite(2).locH - 1
123: pixels = pixels + 1
124: sprite(2).locH = sprite(2).locH + 1
otherwise
-- Statement.
end case


Regards.

Thanks for the help, but I figured it out a little bit after I posted this. I know I shoulda posted and said so but wasn't really near a PC.
I just wanted the second thing I needed to happen with the keydown in another case within the function.

Thanks for replying though

Lata,
