Call Quick function in Symbol Animation Action Script

Nicholas Konidaris

Good day, all

We have recently converted our Intouch Windows to the Industrial Display Symbols, however the Action Scripts on our buttons call a quick function for generic symbol use. The "CALL" function now gives an error "CALL is a revered word" and does not call the Quick Function. How do we go about Calling a Quick Function from within an Action Script? The Action Script is on a Button.

    You can't. You need use back Intouch action script. Just right click to industrial graphic and select animation link. From there can select action script.

    Today, the graphics scripts are executed in a different engine than the application scripts (including Quick Functions). Therefore, the Quick Functions cannot be called directly. You may be able to trigger a script function via tags and data change scripts but it will likely be messy.

    We are working on bringing these two separate scripting engines together and to support calling from UI scripts to backend Application scripts. I can't say exactly when and how, but our ambition is to make this work in a future version.

    CALL is indeed a reserved word, but it is not used for anything as far as I know.
