Question

I’m having a big issue here. I can’t communicate between shoes stacks.
Here is a resumed exemple, in order to show the problem:

Shoes.app do 
  stack :width => "100%", :height => "25%" do
    button "" do
      a.show
    end
  end
  a = stack :width => "100%", :height => "25%", :hidden => true do
    b = para "lol"
  end
end

As you have understood, it can’t work because the variable a is declared before being able to be used. However, I have a lot of things I have to append to the second stack thanks to a button on the first stack, it is not possible at all. I don’t know if there’s a way.
I have to keep the order of the stacks. I don’t want the “a.show” be after the “a” stack.
Thanks

Answer 1

Don’t use global variables (those prefixed with $). That’s bad practice

Use instance variables prefixed with @ and that will be visible across the Shoes flows.

You’re working inside of an App object, and you should be using instance variables.
Check out the Shoes Rules for more information.
