Confused about Global variables and strings

[BrashMonkey]

Hi all,

I seem to remember a long time ago that Global values kept their current value EVEN after a "reset the application" command, yet right now I'm counting on it yet it doesn't seem the case...has this changed or was I mistaken in the first place?

Does the fact that I'm using many frames as sub-apps make a diference?

Will I need to resort in an ini file? (I hope not)

thanks

Global values and strings only stay around for the current apps instance. So if you restart the application they will be erased.

If you just restart the frame the values and strings should still be there.

You can Jump to frame 1 to get the effect you desire

thanks everyone. I got exactly the result I wanted using the "shared data" extension. It should be noted that it is very handy for not just sharing data between two seperate apps, but for carrying over data across a full app restart.. Very useful and a very clean way to contrrol exactly which information gets restarted.
