RE: Accessing global variables with sent parameters

[roymeo]

You'll have to try this to see if it really works, but if you're going to 
construct global variables like that, you'll need to use the "do" command.

do "global gStart" & counter & "EndPart"

ah heck, I'll try it out for you....

on testing this, that  --movieScript
  do "global gFoo" & this & "Bar"
  do "gFoo" & this & "Bar = " & that

  showglobals
end
testing(1,2)
results in:
-- Global Variables --
version = "8.5.1"
nope.  doesn't work.

But, you can address the globals directly, and not having to declare 
"global gThisOne" by using the (the globals) object.

on testing this, that  --movieScript
  do "global gFoo" & this & "Bar"
  do "gFoo" & this & "Bar = " & that

  showglobals

  (the globals).SetAProp(symbol("gFoo" & this & "Bar"), that)

  showGlobals
end
now
testing(1,2)
results in:
-- Global Variables --
version = "8.5.1"
-- Global Variables --
gFoo1Bar = 2
version = "8.5.1"
so you see it does work the second time.
