Control through multiple windows

MenteCode

Hi everyone.

I've been experimenting with multiple windows (as shown in this post: http://forum.processing.org/one/topic/multiple-windows-2-4-2011.html), and I've succeeded in using the main window (the red one) to control the Second Applet by using void mousePressed(), then changing the framerate through s.frameRate().

How do I do this the other way around?

You need to pass the main PApplet reference to any other class which needs to control the main sketch! %%-

Do you mean to say that I should make a class for the main applet as well, so I could control it?

No! I've meant that you have to pass that reference to your other class. Usually through its constructor. :(|)
Of course in order for that to work, you have to instantiate that class within the main sketch.
And use this keyword as the passing argument! :-B
This way, this means the sketch's own instance reference. Not from some other object's reference!

void setup() {
  new Bossy(this);
  exit();
}

class Bossy {
  final PApplet p;

  Bossy(PApplet pa) {
    p = pa;
  }
}
