Re: macro fails to access param properties with render.eval

Hello Jonathan,
thanks for your reply.

It works great when I call #aMacro($p1). But in my case, the macro to call
would be determined dynamically. I would construct the macro name something
like :
    #$objectx.type+$objecty.operation($objectz)

In my example, if I remove the quotes around $p1, system throws an error
like "unrecognized string..." Also, I believe with those quotes, VE is not
considering $p1 as plain string literal. When I uncomment the first line in
aMacro, it is printing the object reference, not the string "$p1".

Is there any workaround to invoke the macro dynamically with parameters?

Thanks
