You wouldn't be able to use the variable names x and y like this because an Application inherits from DisplayObject which already has x and y properties (implemented as getter/setters).
Also, such variables wouldn't technically be "global vars"; they'd be "Application instance vars". But you can access them from any component using Application.application.foo so they're kind of global-y in that sense. - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Horn Sent: Sunday, April 09, 2006 9:51 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] BETA 2: Setting global Vars at creationComplete You declare them as public outside a function in your app root and then set their values in a function that is triggered off of the application's creationComplete event.
