iPhone Wax accessing already instantiated classes

[Hessi]

There are some use cases I want to create instance of certain objects
in objc and access them in Lua/Wax.

I read the entire documentation but I'm still uncertain how to
accomplish this:

Some Demo Code (doesn't work, but you should get the idea)

galaxy = UIApplication:sharedApplication():delegate():galaxy()
starclusters = galaxy:starclusters()
galaxy_drawing =
UIApplication:sharedApplication():delegate():galaxyDrawing()

function set_starcluster_position_in_galaxy (x)

starclusters:objectAtIndex(0):setValue_forKey("position_in_galaxy_x",
300)
puts("Setting Starcluster Position X")
end

if galaxy:starclusters() returns an NSArray, wax will automatically change this to a Lua array. This might be the problem

If you want to directly change the value of an NSArray or NSDictionary from Lua, and have the changes reflected in Objective-C that won't work right now, because Lua doesn't get the actual reference to the NSArray or NSDictionary back.

Hi Corey,
thanks for your quick reply.
