If you set a variable in a library script and you make that library available to an activity. Is there any thing special needed to be done to use that variable in a page script of that activity?

So in the library script, lets say

Var Feedback = feedback;
feedback being the returned data.

Can I simple us that variable in an "IF Statement" in a script on a page in that activity?

Var Feedback = feedback;

First off. 'var' is lowercase. Might this be your problem?

If the variable is in the library, that is at Global Scope which is the parent of Activity Scope which is the parent of Page scope which is the parent of Button/Local Scope. The Dev Guide does not explicitly mention JavaScript 'Global Scope' but that is where libraries are loaded.

So, yes, the variable should be visible if you don't have syntax errors.

Note that in the Activity in question, you must also check the box to 'include' your library under the ProntoScript Libraries tab of the Activity Properties.

Note that if you added your library to the System Activity, you must check the box to include it there or within your Activity, you must call System.include(nameofyourjsfile).

Please have a look at Chapter 6 of the Dev Guide and Section 4.3 Variable Scope of the Flanagan 5th Edition book (You can likely find the PDF online via a google search).

The capital V in var was just a typo in this post. So far I am not getting it to work. So got some playing around to do. LOL

If the variable was declared outside of a function it should be visible.
