The DATA syntax to use a remote INCLUDEd data statement from a separate file in a local private action?

I'm supposed to be updating tours to 1.22.2++ but I'm stuck on this really simple mix of brackets, get(s) and its to late in the week, can anyone help with the correct combination please.

In a separate file I have hundreds of these "labels"

Code

<data name="introduction-TITLE"
The Introduction Heading line is this seperate label.
</data>

Then in the tour itself I have a plugin

Code

<include url="%FIRSTXML%/captions.xml" /> 
<plugin name="press_the_button"
         onclick = "popup("HTML", "introduction-TITLE", "introduction-DATA", width etc...   
         scope="private:POPUP" args="type, headings, contents, width, ...
/>

and an action

The challenge is to use the data in the separate file in this 'private' routine:

Code

<action name="popup" scope="private:POPUP" args="type, headings, contents, width ...
        set(texTITLE, get(data[get(headings)].content));
        If you now get(texTITLE) it shoudl contan the string...
        The Introduction Heading line is this seperate label.

BUT its null...

I tried breaking the last line into 2 pieces, but its hardly that complicated?

Either it something really obvious I cant see, or its to do with PRIVATE and PUBLIC which I can t get my head round.

Thanks

James

Hi, try using 'global.' to access the global, non-private variables:

Code

 set(texTITLE, get(global.data[get(headings)].content));
