Hi Guys,
If you save this out to a mel file and then source it in maya, when you click the button you get an error because it won't source the local proc in the same file, if you do this without the button etc it'll work. Anyone know how to get this to work, I've had a quick go with evals and can't get it?

proc test()
{
print "works\n";
}

global proc buttonPress()
{
window -width 150;
columnLayout -adjustableColumn true;
button -label Default -c test;
showWindow;
}


Cheers

AnDy.

columnLayout -adjustableColumn true;
button -label Default -c test;
showWindow;
}

remember that when you run code in the script editor it makes everything global by default....

yep, i'm fully aware of that, hence the reason I said save it to a file.

You can however stop your variables being declared global by adding: { and } around them.

EDIT: solved :)
