Re: What is wrong with this method?
Thanks to everyone who replied. I was able to fix the problem by
using:
(defmethod initialize ((score Score) &rest blackbox)...
I am restricted to using initialize because Action automatically sends
an initialize message to a subapplication when the parent application
launches it. Hence I can say (from my Black Box application):
(gosub blackbox 'score blackbox)
to launch the score application, which is a modal dialog used to
display the score from the current game. Action passes any additional
arguments to the initilize method sent to the score application;
however, the manual wasn't very clear about how they were passed.
Since the score is in blackbox I need to pass the blackbox instance
along to score, so many of the other instance initialization
techniques will not work.
For those who don't know, Action! is a CL interface builder.
It maintains a total separation of interface and application code. The
two are linked only through methods. It is quite nice and I recommend
it to anyone who needs to rapidly construct applications with a Mac
interface.
