Clearing All _root.variables

[mcascio]

Anyone know of an easy way to clear all variable values in a certain level or just all of them?

Use this code to set all variables in _root (or whereever, MC, object etc) to 0 (again, or to whatever, true false etc)...

for (varname in _root)
{
_root[varname] = 0;
}

Or:

varname delete;

But that is not a single function that deletes all

[jonmack]

I thought it was the other way around...

delete varname;

And you can combine the 2 can't you? Unless this deletes more than you need (like the version number) - will that have side effects?

for (varname in _root)
{
delete varname;
}

So maybe it's wise to contain the required wiped variables in a seperate object/MC to not delete version number...?

Yes, it is suppose to be delete varname. I never used it, just remember reading it once

Thanks folks.

Haven't had a chance to test it out yet...but I will.
