make use of _global to open the scope of the variable to all timelines in the Player session.
For example, an input textfield with <instance name> myInput -
_global.myVar = myInput.text;
on any movieclip timeline - trace(myVar); will work
on any loaded movie - trace(myVar); will work
hth :)
is there any other ways to go about it?
Hey Sobek,
Modified dog's suggestion is probably the easiest way to go about it. It will save you a lot of stress when it comes to targeting your variables. Are you hesistant about using this method for a particular reason?
lol, im hesitant because i dont understand it. i was kinda hoping that entering the value into the input text field, given the variable name in the space that offers it would be enough to create the variable so i could later just use the variable in my commands. but if you could care to explain the components to the said suggestion then please do.
