[flexcoders] Global variable - Best Practice

2007-09-08 Thread Ben Marchbanks
I have an application in which I current set a [Bindable] variable
baseURL to the application URL. I have been accessing this variable
from other components in the app using this.parentDocument.baseURL. 
This is a clunky solution since components may have their own children
so I windup with this.parentDocument.parentDocument.baseURL - What is
the best way to create and reference an application wide variable ?

You could use a static Class/Singleton to give you a single variable 
accessible from anywhere.
