Launch a .gproj from another .gproj?

Hi,

just curious : is it possible to launch a project from another one?
I would like to create some kind of homepage for my own needs to launch different projects.
Projects all use the same file names so I can't create a Hub to launch different scenes.
It has to be different projects.

Is that possible?

thanks

  • @Mells, For what I understand, you want a dashboard from where you can launch various projects, is that correct?

    hen you say launch a project, it sounds like Director or Flash where you can invoke another project from within, but that might not be possible with Mobile projects as you cannot really call an app from within another as such.

    If you are wanting to reuse the scenes in many projects, then try Hard Links that can allow you to keep one copy of the scene used with SceneManager.

    Does any one of the suggestions help you with the problem as hand?

    thanks for offering your help.
    Well, I need to keep projects separated and be able to launch one or another from a central dashboard (project A) in the Gideros player, I'm not talking about apps installed on device.

    For instance, project B and project C are using the same "title" scene structure and code, loaded with different content (json).
    I am currently able to launch project B or C independently, but I would like to be able to launch them from a central dashboard (project A).

    I don't want to embed the other projects; launch and replace in the player is what I am looking for.
    But from my understanding this is does not seem to be possible?

    Not exactly what you want, but you can open Gideros installation dir and open Gideros\Resources\start\examples.xml

    And modify it to point to your gproj files, that way, when opening Giders studio, you will have your own projects instead of examples on Start Page :)
