[Pythoncard-users] Targeting a component from a subthread?

[Alec B. <wry...@gm...>]

One more question and then I'm reasonably homefree:

Any clue how to set a component from a sub thread?

In other words, say I launch this thread from the class that's running my gui:

class somethread ( threading.Thread ):

   def run ( self ):

      self.components.nowplaying.file = "somefile.jpg"

somethread().start()


Currently the "self" doesn't reach the PyCard gui. I confess to still
being confused by "self", which is probably the problem.

Here's how my gui is launched, if it mattes:

class MyBackground(model.Background):
   def on_initialize(self, event):


I've been trying things like MyBackground.components.nowplaying.file =
"somefile.jpg", but that's probably moronic.
