Frame for other program

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if there is a way to have a program run code from another file in like a frame of sorts. I want this so that I can have end users download parts of a program, put them in a special folder, and have my main program run them. The frame was my idea but if there is another way that is fine too. I am running 2.0.

thanks

There might be a library that will let you do this. I don;t know which one it is though. Sorry.

You might be able to get it to work if you were willing to have your main program "know" about all the different files it could possibly expect to run in the frame. This is a major stumbling block if you want to add new frame-fillers later, or want to be able to let users create their own frame-fillers...

I think what you really have to ask yourself is: Does it HAVE to be CODE in those files?

Couldn't it just be DATA?

If it was just DATA, say, a level map or a list of what shapes are where, or something like that... That would certainly be much easier.
