I don't get it. Could you explain a little more?
Thanks,
John

Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: New import compiler directive
A scan through jss files shows examples in several. I'd say the directive
would be useful if you're calling a function you know exists among the jsb
files you're loading but the compiler doesn't get it. An example would be if
a.jss Uses b.jss which calls a function from a.jss. This directivve seems to
be new in JAWS 13.
Cool idea anyway.

Hi folks,
I stumbled across the following line of code in QuickSet.jsd recently, and a
rather terse explanation buried in FileIO.jss. However, it seems to be
undocumented in the FSDN. Grepping the all users settings\enu directory,
There are a pile of scripts that use the Import directive.
I can't say I truely grok it, but it appears that the Import command is used
for getting the Script Manager to load up function declarations (from jsd
files) that are deeply nested in the script binary load scope.
I always thought that the Script Manager automatically loaded the jsd files
associated with binaries referenced using the Use directive. I am assuming
that Import is needed because the compiler isn't actually clever enough to
recursively scan through "Used" jsb files to find all the associated jsd
files necessary to provide all the required function declarations, in case
the top level script file calls a function buried
2 or more levels down in the scope (excluding functions in default.jss whose
documentation one would expect the Script Manager to always have on hand).
Is anyone else aware of this or have I just been living on another planet
for the last few years?
Cheers,
Andrew.
