Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: accessing global objects

[Navindian]

       even after declaring as global, it is still not accessible . the following code will get an idea.

one.js

namespace("package1")

       var oneObject ;

package1.tabs=function(app)

{

   this.app = app;

   this. createTabs();

} 

createTabs = function(){

  oneObject = new thirdpartyObject();

}

two.js

//Here I have to access oneObject.

You can't, it's a local variable within the function you assigned to the `createTabs` variable. Unless you export it (make it publicly accessible in some way, for instance by assigning it to your `package1` object as a property), it's completely private to `createTabs`.

Side note: Your code is falling prey to The Horror of Implicit Globals[1]. Strongly recommend properly declaring variables to avoid that.

From the code you've quoted, it would be accessible, there must be more to it than that. Can you provide a minimalist test case on http://jsbin.com or similar?
