ABScript Function "MyFunction"

...do something

</p>
<p>Return "true" "Boolean"

--------------------

How to process it lets say in an Click Event?
I tried:

</p>
<p>MyFunction "" "[Result]"</p>
<p>if "[Result]" "==" "true"</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>EndIf

thanks and regards

Hello Antonio,

Certainly the "Return" action is intented to be used in functions that requires to provide a Javascript's way of return. Normally we deal with app's variables and they are global to the application, then, you can simply set a variable from the function's code and the look at that after the function has been called.

Thanks David.

I'm used to work with functions and results and less with global variables. As coming from an Object oriented side of programming, i usually try to minimize the use of globals. but it's also ok

Certainly we can discuss about the conveniences and inconveniences of global variables. In fact AB doesn't use global variables in the "window" scope, but they are always in right the application's scope. On the other hand we can use objects variables to stack in their variable members instead of "simple" app's variables.
