[Qt-qml] Getting access to QML objects from a workerscript

[ronan.maclaverty at nokia.com]

Hi all,

I am trying to get access to some global objects from a QML WorkerScript, and whatever I do I cannot seem to access them.  The key object is a C++ object that implements a time consuming function, so I thought this might be the way to go.

The first attempt was to pass the object as inside the workscript message:

MyQml.qml:

Player {
	id: player
}

WorkerScript {
        id: workerThread
        source: "qrc:player.js"
} 

workThread.sendMessage( { object: player } );

This did not work - the message.object is not an object.

The second attempt, declare global variables inside the JavaScript file:

player.js:

var myplayer;

MyQml:

import "player.js" as Player

....

Player.myplayer = player
workThread.sendMessage( {} ); 

The WorkScript.onMessage function cannot access player.

I am sure that I have missed some crucial piece of documentation somewhere, but any help solving this issue would help.  

Ronan.
