Honestly I vaven't ever heared of that. It's not documented and a quick test shows me, that it doesn't work. Unless you have replaced the :RegisterEvent() func by some other, which I don't belive.

yea i did that... if i put GUIPartyFrame. infront of it it says its not a global... if i remove it i load bug free but the events are not actually registerd

Perhaps you have a problem with your scope then.

Where do you try to do that? Because GUIPartyFrame is only visible in createPartyEventFrame() in your code snipplet.
Also, the returned value of createPartyEventFrame() seems to go nowhere.

how would i make the GUIPartyFrame vis everywhere? because im trying to use those functions inside of another function...

Perhaps you should go back to some of the basics ;)

Apart from Chimaine's suggestion .. the route I use allows it to work across the whole addon.


local addonName, addonData = ...

addonData.GUIPartyFrame = CreateFrame(...)
etc


Then all files in the TOC after this file with that first line added at the top of each file will have access to that variable.
