Re: [script] Events "FileName" argument

[Aloys Baillet <aloys.baillet(at)gmail.com>]

Hi Bernard,

As far as I remember, we didn't manage to make this thing work in only one file: we always had to do the registration from a plugin, and put the event file outside the Plugins hierarchy (in a sibling folder called Events).
Its a pain...
I don't know what the status in 5, though.

Salut François,


Well it sort of works as far as installation/registration goes.
But then, the event has to named specifically this way:

function XSIApplication::OnBeginFrame( CustomData, RenderType,
FileName, Frame, Sequence, RenderField, Abort )
{
        Application.LogMessage( "Progress: STARTING FRAME - " + Frame + " - "
+ FileName );
}

Now when the plugin loads, I get an error about XSIApplication not
being defined. If I changed that to Application, then I don't get the
error but the event is not triggered.

Btw I changed to JScript, since the Python version was giving a weird
type error.


Thanks
Bernard
