I know it's a personal thing, but I usually try and avoid using _global variables (in fact, I use them so little, this is probably why I have this question), but I found a case where I needed to use them - at least temporarily for testing purposes. Without going in to why I'm using one (please don't ask, just humor me :) ), I found a weird behavior I cannot explain.
Say clip A is the main _level0 clip where the _global.myVar is defined. Clip B is an external .swf references the _global myVar. When I test my Movie (crtl+Enter) for the main _level0 clipA it loads clip B in fine and reads the _global variable in fine as well as expected. However, when I test the main _level0 clip A in the browser, clip B does NOT read the _global variable as it did in the Flash IDE test mode - it's showing as undefined - why? I thought _global was _global in the 'ol grande document level stack? No? This is true from clip B if I try accessing it via either myVar or _global.myVar.
