current filename? - how can I get the current filename (i.e. lua filename) programmatically? Is this possible? (i.e. the filename of the file for which my code fetching it is running within)

If you are using storyboard you can call storyboard.getScene(), if not then I don’t think you can. [import]uid: 164950 topic_id: 29159 reply_id: 117252[/import]

I assume this is for debugging?
You can have constants in each module.

local myName = “Main Module”

If each module is considered a class in itself, then the myModule returns the name of the ‘class’ in which the code resides. [import]uid: 108660 topic_id: 29159 reply_id: 117290[/import]

hi jeff472 - wasn’t for debugging in this case - was to allow me to push the DRY software design concept (don’t repeat yourself) [import]uid: 140210 topic_id: 29159 reply_id: 117324[/import]
