Now that I’ve taken a closer look, I realize my question was too specific. I had imagined it too simple. “Change the output device within an interval function and restore the previous state at the end of that function” is much more complicated than I had expected at the time. Okay, I should have gue...

Thanks!

A clarifying question: In a program with multiple displays, the commands SetFont(), SetFontColor(), and SetFontStyle() have a global effect; in other words, they change the output for all displays, regardless of which one was selected with SelectDisplay(). Accordingly, you can query the currently se...

Bugala, plouf has already answered the question precisely, hasn't he? His code example clearly shows that `OpArgs` is a local variable of the function even when it is passed as Nil.

Thanks! I hadn't found that. I'm not sure in which situations it fails this way, but at least it's better than nothing. I had tried to make the table monitor I recently presented here as universally usable as possible, because it helped me quite a bit. Since it requires a SelectDisplay, I have to sw...

Here’s something of a solution, but it needs a lot of memory for the tables and is slow. It might still be helpful, if no one knows a better way. The operations in the loop could be combined into a single line, which would probably speed up the calculation a bit, but it’s easier to experiment this w...

I'm searching for a way to determine which display is currently selected. Is this possible?

Ah, you changed your post, so I have reply again. What your responses are showing me is that you don't force Hollywood to do complicated tasks, or that your projects aren't aimed at all available operating systems, where it's easy to find problems Your judgment is poor. But fine, I'll try not to off...

Ok, but do you still have a problem?

If you still need an answer, show us the command line you use to compile the problematic script. From your posts, I am not sure if your problem is solved or not. Also, show us Hollywood's output from the compilation run.
