[Gambas-user] gb3: structure declaration not allowed in a different module

> ' Audio effect structure.
> Public Struct Audio_Effect  ' Structure containing one effect's data.
>   Sample As Sound     ' Waveform data (file).
>   Chan As Channel     ' Default channel to play on.
>   Current As Single   ' Current amplitude.
>   Target As Single    ' Target amplitude.
>   Scale As Single     ' Target amplitude multiplier.
>   Velocity As Single  ' Speed at which current amplitude is moving
> toward target amplitude.
> End Struct

> In the Audio module I'd have this:
>
> ' General declarations.
> Public Environment[16] As Struct Structures.Audio_Effect ' Environmental
> effects.

no... structure are dependent to the module
