NAME string example - send a filename to one or more module(s) filename parameter port(s) SUMMARY Name string example Type data Inputs none Outputs string Parameters File Browser browser NULL DESCRIPTION The string example module sends a single user-specified filename string to one or more string parameter ports on one or more receiving modules. Its purpose is to allow you to simultaneously control filename parameter input to more than one module using only a single File Browser input widget. This code was based on the AVS "file browser" module. Before you can connect file browser to the receiving module, you must make that receiving module's parameter port visible. To make a parameter port visible, call up the module's Editor Window panel by pressing the middle or right mouse button on the module icon dimple. Next, look under the "Parameters" list to find the parameter you want to plug into. Position the mouse cursor over that parameter's button and press any mouse button. When the Parameter Editor window appears, click any mouse button on its "Port Visible" switch. A light blue parameter port should appear on the module icon. Connect this parameter port to the file browser module icon in the usual way. PARAMETERS File Browser (string) The single filename string, specified through a File Browser widget, to be sent to the receiving module(s) filename string parameter port(s). The default value is NULL. OUTPUTS filename (string) The filename string value is sent to all modules with filename string-type parameter ports that are connected to the file browser module. EXAMPLE 1 The following network inputs the same data file simultaneously to two user-written modules.
