How to pass parameters from one .js file to another?

Hi Friends,

I am very happy that all my questions are answered swiftly. I have a doubt regarding passing parameters from one js to another.

That is, when I create a new window from a js to and open that window, I wanted some data to be passed on to the other js. In objective C, when I create a new ViewCOntroller, I write a custom init function , with which I get the data to intialize the ViewCOntroller. But how can I do here?

    something like this should do it.

    var variableToSend = 'hello!';
var newWin = Ti.UI.createWindow({url:'window.js'});
newWin.variableReceived = variableToSend;
newWin.open();

    and then in 'window.js'

    var win = Ti.UI.currentWindow;
Ti.API.info(win.variableReceived);

    should print 'hello!' in the console when the new window opens :)
