[JW Lua] DeepDeleteData / DeepSave

[Charles O. Lawrence]

Jari,

Note that there is no DeepDeleteData() method for the FCExpression() class
either, if it needs one.

No, FCExpression() data is completely separated from FCExpressionDef(). 
(See my reply to Charles about remapping expressions.) The only connection
between them are an ID number in the FCExpression data.

The "Create...()" methods imply that the method allocates objects (that
requires memory) on the heap. For a JW Lua developer, the important thing to
know is that each call to a Create...() method will allocate a little more
memory that will not be deallocated until the script ends.

"Create()..." methods create objects that aren't connected to the creator
object, so they can be resaved at other locations.


Best regards,
