Post From: Using ACSIL to change another chart's symbol

Trying to think through this and posting here for reference.

One possible way to do this is, instead of pushing the change (having chart A change chart B's symbol), to pull the change (have chart B poll chart A and change its own symbol). This could be done with persistent variables.

So for example, set a persistent var in chart A that contains info about the symbol that B should change to (encoded in an integer for example). Chart B checks to see if this persistent variable has changed. It if has, change its own symbol.

If you have a better suggestion I would like to hear it -- this is a bit of a kludge and I would like a cleaner way if possible.
