Maybe the external swf Clip B did not load in time to read that variable (in
the brower).
Try making Clip B wait 1 frame worth of time after it is loaded then read
the variable.

Subject: [Flashcoders] _global is _global or what?
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.
Thanks for any insights,
