Re: FLASH: Variable Dump

[Robert Bleeker]

Hi Scott,


Thing I do is create an empty MC on the main timeline and call it "global"

then whenever I set a variable I use:


Set Variable ("/global:someVariable")


You can use this from where ever you happen to action script. the to read

the variable all you have to do is "/global:someVariable" to get it, again

it doesn't matter where you are action scripting.


Now to do a complete dump all you have to do is go to a frame in the main

timeline that doesn't have the "global" MC (ie blank keyframe in the layer

of the "global" MC) and it will be completely empty.


Good luck


Robert
