cognew(otherObj)

janb

Hi,
I was wondering if it is allowed to fire a method from an OBJ being a member variable of the main OBJ on another cog?
Sth like this:

---

VAR
· long stack[noparse][[/noparse]32]
OBJ
· tt: "J_test"
PUB main
· tt.init
· cognew(tt.toggle,@stack)
··tt.setFlag(10) ' this value is NOT passed ·to tt ?!

---

the method tt.toggle blinks LED so I see it works, but
tt.setFlag(10) should·set internal varibale of J_test and
trun off the LED - this does not work.
If I reverse the order:

---

··tt.setFlag(10) ' this value is passed
··cognew(tt.toggle,@stack)

---

·than LED turns off instatntly - as it should.

So it looks like after cognew() the main cog is loosing access to the sub-OBJ.

In the manual it says only
cogenew(SpinMethod, ....
SpinMethod must be a method but does not say it must belong to the main OBJ. But perhaps it is implicit?
Thanks

janb,

It's hard to tell without looking at all of your code, but I think what might be happening
is that when you call...

cognew(tt.toggle,@stack)

...then...

tt.setFlag(10)

...never gets executed because the 'tt.toggle' is in an endless loop. When you reverse the
order, the 'tt.setFlag(10)' gets set prior to running 'tt.toggle'.
