That's true, and relevant to the OP's problem. Juan Pablo is rignt on the money, so I'm going to pick up where he left off and talk about private, protected, and public vars, even though it will lead us a bit OT. A private variable is available only to the class that declares it. A protected variable is available to that class and all derived classes. Of course, you can make any variable accessible with a getter or setter method. In OOP AS3, only public variables are truly global. If you don't declare a variable to be private or protected, it is global by default.
