Hi,
I haven't actually tried any of this... But, if I recall correctly, variable
scope is the scope at which the variable was first found. If you want a bunch
of dynamic variables to be global, just initialize them at the top of the
formula, before any function declarations.
e.g.
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
VarSet("MyVar" + i, 0);
}
function MyFunc() {
...
}
As for returning a dynamic variable; It really does not matter what you return
from the function. The resulting value will be copied to the caller.
Finally, to dereference a dynamic array, try fetch the array first then
dereference second.
e.g.
MyArray = VarGet("someArray" + n);
Value = MyArray[i];
