I'm working on a fieldtype with a lot of javascript and I use the following to get EE constants in the js:
$this->EE->javascript->set_global(array('THIRD_PARTY_THEME_URL' => URL_THIRD_THEMES));
This works well in the Control Panel, but not in Safecracker, which seems to reset all the EE js object.
Any idea how I can pass those kind of constants?
Not sure how to answer your specific questions, but I would use my Theme_loader class. It makes life really easy when it comes to loading JS and CSS assets within your module, and it works in Safecracker too. I typically like to extract all these type of components into stand-alone libraries to make code maintenance easier.
Once upon a time, EE didn't have those variables available so when they were released that caused a lot of code to be incompatible (or in need of upgrade). If devs would use an abstraction like this, they would have just only had to update 1 library for all their add-ons.
