Passing variables between scripts

[Jonas Voss]

Hi there

Director and Lingo beginner her, and I've googled for this in this
group and others and on the web. I am not sure that what I want is
possible at all, hopefully someone in here can enlighten me.

I have a movie clip where two overlaying sprites take up half the
screen each. For each of the sprites I have a script incrementing a
counter for every mouseWithin.

At the end of the movie clip, I would like the value of the two
incrementers (sp?) to be passed on to a third script triggered at the
end of the movie. However, I haven't succeeded in passing these
variables yet.

I've made them global in each script for the sprites (by using global
variable at the top of each script), and then made them global in the
endMovie script, where I try to print them to screen via an alert, but
they are empty.

I haven't got the code I've used readily available right now, but if
you need any code to be able to help, please let me know.

Ok, scratch that. I've just read through the code again, and it was a
blatant fault on my behalf. Just two lines down from declaring the
variables global, I declared them again as a property, which I
understand is only in the local scope. Naturally, the variables
weren't passed between the scripts then.

So, no alarm, nothing to see here, move along (:
