I've scoured the github, but I can't find a decent sample of bb.pushscreen (part of bbui.js).

Specifically, I'm looking for info on passing parameters. Tim Neil posted a sample that will pass a variable and display it in a popup box from bb.init. But I can't find a way to access these parameters outside of bb.init.

Anyone have any experience with this?

I have no idea but I tweeted this thread for you in case someone will see it and offer up some help.

Hey Mike,

So here's one way that you can do this (I'm not at a computer I can test this on, but it *should* work. If not let me know)

When you do pushScreen you can specify a 3rd optional parameter, as you already know.

bb.pushScreen('thePage.html', 'theID', 'myParams');

You're correct that you have to read this 3rd param inside the bb.init method. You should be able to set this as a global variable from there however, like so...

bb.init({
    onscreenready: function(element, id) {
    },

    ondomready: function(element, id, params) {
        console.log('html page: ' + element);
        console.log('id: ' + id);
        console.log('params: ' + params);

        // set params as a global variable so you can access it from wherevs...
        myPageParams = params;
    }
});

Perfect!
Thanks Bla1ze and Chad, this is exactly what I was looking for!
