Milky_au, as always, you're more than precious, you're indispensable!

I confess, I'm not even sure if I want to distribute these frameworks, or make them pay and how much (the order of magnitude is a few dollars, not more).

I have developed what I think is be a pair of beautiful software objects, partly based on Director code, and in part http server side, and I was wondering if it was the case of share them, although I do not know how ...

Thanks for the tip, I do experiments and update you!

Thanks !!!

Alex.

hi shylock - I hope all is well in your part of the world.

I’m not fully following this discussion , but thought this might be of some help

I don’t know of any way to hide just part of a dir file / script - (without hiding it all)

but…

Over the years I’ve bought a few dcr games from other developers who didn’t want to sell me their source code. (cheeper cost to buy them - but impossible to upgrade without paying for their help)

With a bit of effort I was able to embedded their dcr programs right inside my own program.

The idea would be to make a program that contains just the functions you wish to achieve

You’ll have to write it in such a way, that you’re able to pass it the variables it requires to execute the function / procedures that you have made.

Also when it’s finished doing what ever you want it to do, that it’s able to return to the other developer what ever variables you want to give them back.

You save this program as a .drc

Next you have the other developer import this drc file into their own director program.

You’ll need to give them all the instructions on what special variables they will need to feed your dcr program, and tell them what they are going to be given back.

Is this the sort of thing you a talking about? - or did I just miss the mark again

regards

milky

OK, let me get this straight.

I developed an application with Director and, doing it, I created two very powerful frameworks and I decided to sell them so otterrai developers can build their apps to without re-invent the wheel.

So I have to mask the code and it will be useful to mask internal variables too.

Why are you trying to "hide" a script or its variables?

Global variables have to be defined as such - otherwise they will be local variables.

I have to develop a script member that contains some procedures and functions.

Is there a way to produce some "hidden" script?

I think the first solution is to put this script in an external cast and protect it (AKA make it CXT).

But...

Is there a way to hide all variables so they cannot be seen as globals?

Thank you.
