Win Pivot App. Need to access some data from a section. Any ideas?

Question

I have a JavaScript Win Pivot Application

Into the Hub I am retrieving some information:

function initPages(options) {
for (var i = 0; i < options.length ; i++) {
    var menuItem = options[i];
    menuItem.showBanner = (i == 0);

    definePages(options);
}

}

and in a .Js file I have the definePages function created:

functions.js:

function definePages(item) {
var action = item[0];
var animation = item[1];
var scyfy = item[2];
var localmovies = item[3];
var clasic = item[4];
var comedy = item[5];
var biography = item[6];
var drama = item[7];
var kids = item[8];
var musical = item[9];
var romantic = item[10];
var suspense = item[11];
var horror = item[12];
var art = item[13];
var personalities = item[14];
var history = item[15];
var society = item[16];

}

Now, in my section 1 I initialize the page by calling another function there:

ready: function (element, options) {
        // TODO: Inicializar la página aquí.
        options = options || {};


        initMovies();
    },

function initMovies() {
    var element = document.getElementById("movieContainer");
    //var movies = ??????????????????????????
    //console.log(movies);
    //it keeps going
}

I need to be able to retrive, in that var movies, the var action, from the functions.Js or, which is the same, the items[0]...

However, if I call a function in functions.Js, which is defined in section1Page, it won´t work...

I can call functions and pass data from anywhere to functions.Js, but not the other way around...

Any ideas on what should I do? Thanks!!!

Answer 1

I fixed it... I created a global var in function.Js and I get the info from the array in each section later on:

function definePages(item) {

tooSleepyToThink = item; }

section1Page:

function initMovies() {
    var elemento = document.getElementById("movieContainer");
    console.log(tooSleepyToThink[0].text);

}
