[vet-mm] global and local variables

[Stoney, Marian Sy]

Thanks, John. I haven't loaded Flash 8 yet but I'll have to now!  The advice on declaring them on the main timeline is good,
Regards,
Marian

Hi Marian,

 

Not sure what you mean but I suspect it has something to do with how the variables are declared. Hopefully the attached file can clear the water a bit. Basically, when variables are declared properly, globals can be used in other parts of the movie where as locals cannot. I tend to always declare globals main timeline - not within a function and just use them within the function.

 

Look in the frame script to see the code.

 

Hope this helps????? Flash 8 format.

 

Regards

John

Hi there all you Actionscript types!

I'm wondering why, if I declare a global variable on the timeline, it's available to a function on a movie clip, but if I declare a global variable inside a function on a movie clip, it's not available to the timeline, whilst still being available to other functions on other movie clips. I thought global functions were supposed to be available everywhere? I've attached my file, but it's a bit of a mess.

Grateful for any insights!

Thanks,

Marian
