Re: FLASH: variable question

[Robert Bleeker]

Hi Ilia,


Best way I find is to create a completely empty MovieClip and call it

"global", then place it on your main timeline ( I usually place it slightly

above the stage so you can see the little white dot). Make sure it is in its

own layer and available throughout your movie.


Now you can put variables into that MC from anywhere by simply using:


Set Variable "/global:myVariable"


and when ever you want to read the variable again simple:


if (/global:myVariable)

 blah blah....



I use the global MC so I can reset the variable when needed.
