[F8] Is there a non _global. ?

[unrealhacker12]

Yeah is there a equvilant to a _global. property only so that its not _global.

well if you put this on a timeline (_root timeline for this example)

var something:String = "hello";

then this will not be global in the _global sense.... for e.g if you were within a movieclip on that timeline then to access it from the movieclips timeline you would need to use a relative path _parent.something or absolute path _root.something

if you define it using the var keyword within a function then it will be a 'local' variable only available within the scope of that function..
