To set the global variable, type the following into the command line:
myGlobal = "Hartford, Hereford, and Hampshire."
Then run the function from the command line:
fabFour();
The function prints the changed string to the output window, using the new value of the global variable.
You might think you could access another module's variable by evaluating module.var or some similar
JavaScript expression, but it is not that simple. You can use the
extensions if necessary, although most extensions do not need to do so; see
Releasing Memory
For optimum performance, you should release unused memory as soon as possible. You can set unneeded
JavaScript variables to null to make them available for garbage collection.
Before it unloads your extension, GoLive calls the
outside the JavaScript environment, your implementation of this function can be used to release them.
Handling Events
GoLive 8 implements a WC3-compliant event-handling mechanism, which defines event objects of various
types which encapsulate information about events, and event targets, GoLive objects in which events can
occur. The following GoLive objects act as event targets:
app
module
document
box
menu
menuItem
window
control
Each of these objects inherits the
for a type of event that can occur in that object. When the event occurs in that object, your handler is
passed a single argument, one of the
event, such as where and when it occurred.
For example, a menuSignal event can occur in a menuItem object, and you can register a handler for
that event that responds to the selection of a menu item that your extension added. Your handler is
passed a
