Thread-topic: JavaScript Patch Names Inputs and Outputs
Hi all,
I notice that converting tiger Javascript patches to Leopard (after rewriting to the function 'main' format) act strange, yielding script errors when re-written to QC3. I copy scripts into new Javascript patches and they work with no errors. QC3 bug?

Yes marco. I have sent messages to the list and getting no feedback
regarding the same situation.
I have experienced similar situation where the frame playback drops to
4 or 6 fps, but in tiger it was running at 60fps.
I also have some comps where the interactivity inside QC becomes a
frustration because I have to wait until QC decides to let me do the
next move.
Also, I have noticed that inside QC I can do a "Tiger runtime" test,
and then the composition seems to play more fluid, but when I am
adjusting or editing the comp, it is very slow to the point that I
need to restart the application and then it becomes "just a little bit
faster"

Can I ask what graphics card you're running?

Is it possible to have more than one named output from
a JavaScript module? I can name the inputs without
difficulty, but if I attempt to define more than one
named output, I get errors.
I notice in the Developer Examples folder, example
compositions using the JavaScript patch either have a
single named output, or multiple un-named ones. Is
this a bug or a feature?
The following code:
function (__number input1) main (__number UnitHeight,
__number UnitWidth, __number PixelHeight, __number
PixelWidth)
{
var result = new Object();
return result;
}
gives the following error message, and an error
message at the bottom of the editor window saying
Incorrect or missing "main" function'

Any further attempts to edit the code results in the
reappearance of the above error. Oddly, the output
ports all show up, named as specified, but the input
port does not appear.
Anyone any thoughts on how to get this to work?

There is one solution, which is using the old javascript patch. The
support for it is still there, you just need to have an old
composition that still has the patch in it. Attached is such a
composition. Hope it helps!
